Now You Know
Now that you have completed this chapter, you can configure and label profiles so that they
display information in the way you need. You can apply profile styles and profile view styles
to change the appearance of the graphical information. You can add bands to show additional
information about the design in profile view. You're now able to add labels to convey detailed
information about your profile design. And finally, you can project objects to your profile
views, placing them in a useful context so their proximity with other objects in the design
model can be assessed. You're ready to begin configuring, annotating, and enhancing profiles
in a production environment.
