Profiles in Paper SpaceProfiles in Paper Space

In our profile paper we will have a 2.5” by 2.5” main grid. We have to accommodate our profile length and height in this grid.

In our example it will be 2000 ft. of length and almost 50 ft. of height.

We will say 2000 ft. divided by 5 main grid spaces equals 400 ft.

Since each 2.5 by 2.5 square is divided into ten vertical strips, we will say that 1” = 160 ft. This is our horizontal scale.

Now, for the vertical part is the same, we have 50 ft. in three main grid spaces. That will lead us to use each square equals 20 ft. And since each square is divided also into ten horizontal strips, we will say that 1” = 8 ft. This is our vertical scale.

Now, we go back to model space and go to Project – Drawing Set up – Scale – Horizontal – Custom and type 160.0. We could change also the vertical scale here, but for this example we won’t. Also, if you go to Format – Text Style – Height – Type “your horizontal scale multiplied by the standard text height 0.0781”

When the Profile Generator prompts, we will change four things. The Datum, we will change it to something close to the minimum. Also here is where we are going to change the vertical scale to 8.0 Horizontal spacing will be whatever number you came up for the horizontal main grid divided by 10. And the vertical spacing will be 1.
