jasonmc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hello, I'm having issues with the vertical scaling when I create a profile from an alignment. The horizontal scale is correct but the vertical comes out 1:10. I've adjusted the vertical exaggeration to 1:1 but it doesn't change the drawing even though it saves the changes. I've regenerated the drawing and nothing changes. Does anyone have a solution for this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have moved your thread to the Civil-forum. Have you checked the actual measurements of the profile so you are absolutetly certain it doesn't change? I have been baffled by the vertical exaggeration many times until I get it right. The scale of the profile is also dependent on the CANNOSCALE of your drawing, that you change at the bottom right of your drawing - what do you have set there? Can you upload the drawing here so we can take a look at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmc Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Thanks Tiger, I have checked the measurements and they don't change. Where there should read 4' difference on the grid, it measures at 40'. My CANNOSCALE is set to 1":60'. I have tried altering this as well but it doesn't change the profile. I have been drawing my profiles by hand for the past 6 years and figured I would give it a shot letting ACAD do this for me. So much for that being easy! I cannot upload my drawing due to the nature of security on this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 If you create a profile, and from the start select a 1:1 exageration, does it work then? are you sure your Profile View Style is set to 1:1? what I mean is that the Object Style can be named 1:1 but still have another exxaggeration. Go into the Profile View Style to check, on the Graph-tab. Trust me, when you get the hang of it, letting Civil do the profiles is soo much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmc Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I just tried to create the profile at a 1.0000 vertical exaggeration. Same result. It wants to automatically adjust my vertical scale which makes my profile show a MUCH more drastic difference in elevation that has my client baffled. I need to show the profile with actual layout and no exaggeration at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
