This option allows us to change the stations or distances to origin of a long section file. After selecting the file to be altered, the program displays its initial station. If a different number is entered, the program takes it as the origin and changes all the values in the file's first column.

Example: Long section before and after applying a station adjustment of +125.5 m

This utility creates a backup file of the original profile, to which it assigns the same name and .BAK extension. Therefore, if a mistake is made when this command is used, the modified profile file can be changed, and the copy renamed.
