Exercise 5: Creating Multiple Profile Views

In this exercise, you will produce a set of profile views to display short,
successive segments of a profile.
Multiple profile views are most useful when you are creating final construction
documents from your design. For best results, design your profile in a single
profile view, then use the plan production tools to create multiple profile
views for plotting or publishing. During the plan production process, you
create sheets that display sections of alignments and profiles.
In this exercise, you will bypass the plan production tools to create multiple
profile views in a currently open drawing. You will use the Create Multiple
Profile Views wizard, which allows you to quickly specify the profile view
properties before you create them. If you access this wizard during the plan
production process, many of the properties are not available because they are
already set in the view frame group.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Working with
Profile Views.
