Styles control the way a profile and profile view are displayed in a drawing. Profiles have label styles that control the appearance and behavior of their labels in a drawing.
Profile Styles
Use the Toolspace Settings tree to manage profile styles. All objects have an object style collection on the Settings tab that you can use to create, edit, copy, and delete the styles for that object.
A profile object can reference two style types:
- Profile Style. This style controls the visibility of profile components and their rendering in both 2 and 3 dimensions.
- Profile Label Style. This style controls the appearance and content of labels for stations, lines, curves, and geometry points along the profile.
Profile View Styles
Use the Toolspace Settings tab to manage profile view styles. All objects have an object style collection on the Settings tab that you use to create, edit, copy, and delete the styles for that object.
A profile view object can reference the following style types:
- Profile View Style. This style controls the format of the graph on which the profiles are displayed, as well as the title and annotations on the axes.
- Label Style. This style controls the format of two types of manually placed labels along the profile: station elevation and depth (elevation difference and/or grade between any two points).
- Band Style. This style controls the format of data bands above and below the profile view. Data bands show station elevations, horizontal geometry, vertical geometry, superelevation, sectional data, and pipe data.
For convenience, you can define a group of band styles as a band style set. Then, apply the entire set of band styles to a profile view with a single action, rather than applying each band style separately.
- Projection Style. This multipurpose style controls the appearance of objects projected into profile views or section views.
- Shape Style. This multipurpose style controls the appearance of hatching for cut and fill areas between surfaces and profiles.
