SQOTD: Profile Not Lining Up with Plan

Q. I can't figure out why the heck my P&P sheets are not lining up properly. I was expecting the beginning of the profile to line up with my match line, but it is consistently off 1" in paper-space. Why is this happening?

A. The culprit for this is a band's (or multiple bands') title box width.


To fix it, go to Settings > Profile View category. Go to Band Styles > Profile data and edit Elevations and Stations (this is the style used by the default template - your names may differ).

On the Band Details tab, change the text box width to 0.001. If you have multiple bands in your band set, check all of them for the same setting.


What was happening is was the profile was accounting for the text box width, even though you don't have it showing.


You'll need to recreate sheets to see the change take effect (you don't need to redo view frames, just sheets.)
