I totally agree that the ability to export a dxf (or dwg?) of the profile would be awesome, but may be a bridge too far for the good people at GM and what we should realistically expect from GM (I hope they prove us wrong ) So, IMO, updating the software to export DXF of both the line and the profile would be the cleanest. In fact, being able to export the plan of the line where the section is draw is useful in both scenarios. SOLUTION: clearly identify what is being exported as the wording is the same despite the different result. Essentially, the line I selected to analyse. If I right-click an existing line drawn over the same surface and select Analysis/Measurement -> Path Profile, the window looks the same but the DXF export is of the path itself in plan view. If I draw Path Profile using the tool on the menu (sort of a temporary cross-section), the DXF export of the result is the profile (ground surface from a DEM in my case).Ģ. ***BUG*** There are two different results depending on how this feature is used!ġ. I import these types of DXF profiles into Slope/W to get the ground surface profile for my stratigraphic models. That way, it will be quicker to use in CAD programs or slope stability software. However, the feature would be a bit more useful if there was the option to include the grid lines and labels in the export. I have just discovered the Export to DXF feature in the Path Profile window! That's fantastic and saves a ton of effort for me (I used to achieve the same result by exporting the profile as XZ, importing that file as XYZ path in equirectangular projection, and then creating DXF).
