Alignments and Profiles in Land Desktop
As with other Land Desktop features, working with alignments and profiles
in Land Desktop involves working with, and having to maintain, data in
external files or databases.
Description Land Desktop Functionality
Create alignments from objects or polylines by select-
ing the desired entity, selecting a reference point, Alignment Creation
and then giving the new alignment a name and sta-
tion information. If you are creating from a polyline,
you had to guess if it was originally drawn in the
direction you need. Once defined, the alignment is
created in an external alignment database.
At some point you must establish station label set-
tings by clicking Alignments menu

Once station label settings are established, create

Station Labels. A prompt asks if you want to delete
the old station labels and replace them with the new
ones. (Many users have noted that at this point in
the workflow, it’s a little too easy to inadvertently
delete all the station labels for all your alignments.)
Before creating a profile, verify that the profile set-
tings are as desired. These settings control compon-
ents like sampling, layers, and labels. Profile Settings
First set the desired surface and alignment as current,
then you can create a Profile from a Surface, from a Profile Creation
File, or from Sections. A command line message in-
dicates when the profile is created. The profile data
is maintained in an external data file. To view the
profile, select Profile menu
