Stream Profiles

On the Calculate Menu.  This option allows you to digitize a profile from a map on screen. This could be a stream profile, pipeline route, or another similar use.

Take the following steps:

• Open the map upon which you want to digitize, and blow it up so that you can clearly see the entirety of the route.
• Select Calculate, Stream Profile.
• Digitizing can use either point (double click to set each point) or stream mode (drag with the mouse down). Change modes by right clicking while digitizing.
• Select the first point on the profile.
• When done, right click on the map and pick the first option to end the selection.
• The program creates a database with the profile

When complete, the program will produce a graph of the route.

Annotate Map, create a line shape file can save the the location of your selections.  You can then draw the Terrain profile from the Table view of the database that goes with the shape file.
