To Change Profile View Styles

The profile view style controls the format of the graph on which the profiles are displayed, as well as the title and annotations on the axes.

Profile view styles are useful when your project transitions to a new phase. In the design phase, you can use one profile style that has few grid elements and limited annotation. Limiting annotation and grid elements reduces drawing size and improves drawing performance. A second style can be used for plotting. The plotted profile view style can be extensively annotated and use more graph elements than the design style.

2. Click Profile tabModify View panelProfile View Properties drop-downProfile View Properties Find.
