Use the Toolspace Settings tab to create or edit a profile view style.

You can choose which elements to display, and change the appearance of the graph, grid, title, axes ticks, and text.

The main properties are set on the following tabs in the Profile View Style dialog box:

  • Information. Specify style name and description. See also Information Tab (Style Dialog Box).
  • Graph. Specify profile view direction and vertical scale factor
  • Grid. Specify grid clipping, padding, and offset options
  • Title Annotation. Specify content and appearance of titles for the overall profile view and individual axes
  • Horizontal Axes. Specify ticks, tick justification, tick and grid spacing, and annotation of the horizontal axes
  • Vertical Axes. Specify ticks, tick justification, tick and grid spacing, and annotation of the vertical axes
  • Display. Specify display attributes for profile view components, including visibility, layer, color, linetype, line weight, linetype scale, and plot style. See also Display Tab (Style Dialog Box).
  • Summary. Provides a concise display of the style properties. See also Summary Tab (Style Dialog Box).

Before editing a style to change its properties, remember that any changes you make apply to all profile views that use the style. To change the style of some profile views but not all, consider creating a separate style.
