Hello!
I'm having trouble trying to figure out why my station comes in wrong at certain scales..
At the scales 1" = 30', 1" = 60', & 1" = 300' my station doesn't start from the beginning station.
If you see the image below for a 1" = 30' scale, instead of starting on the left at 100+00, it is putting the first station at 100+20
I have no problems with any other scales.
Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

That's what I figured it was, but I just wanted to be sure!
Thanks!
It's a math thing. Station 100 is 10000 ft from Sta 0+00. 2, 4, & 5 are all factors of 10000. 6 is not. So any interval must be a factor of the station if you want even stationing.
We made our profiles always 50 scale horizontally since we seldom do plan over profile sheets and most profiles are not as cluttered as plans, so the amount of conflicts at 50 scale vs 30 scale is not really an issue and it keeps grids at nice even scale segments.

Holly, is there a reason it doesn't do a 60 interval in particular though? I know I can do an 80 interval without a problem from Sta. 100.
The intervals are set at the multiples of what you assign. So it would be 60, 120, 180, etc. There is not a way to have the interval start at 100 and then do a 60 interval. I logged an enhancement though for this functionality: Enhancement 976745, Profile Grid > Major Grid Properties > Horizontal Interval to begin at start station.

I have the Horizontal Interval set to 60.00.
It appears to be doing this interval correctly after first station.
