AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Expressions In Label
Apr 11, 2013Need writing an expressions in a label style. I have part of it working, it is {Rim to Sump Height}-6 now I would like it to put 0 if it is 0 or less but I don't know how to do it. It works great on positive number but I want it to put 0 if it is a negative number.

Aug 6, 2012Often we need to collect our topographic/boundary data using a state plane grid, but we still need to label property lines using the recoded deed bearings. We have a style with an expression set up to apply this rotation to lines and a similar one set up for curves. Is there a way to store this rotation and have both expressions look up the value from one place?
I am worried that I will type in the angle for the line labels and then forget to type it in for the curve labels, or maybe the angle is typed in correctly in one expression but incorrectly in the other. If it was typed in once, then even if it was wrong, at least the labels would be consistent and correct relative to each other.

Oct 30, 2012I'm trying to create an alignment label to display profile elevations at regular stations. Two questions:
1. I use an expression to set the text height. When I add a regular text component in the label this works fine, but when I add reference text I can't seem to use the expression as text height.
2. I want to use an expression to 'Truncate' the elevation, so that 178.35m displays as 78.35. I can't find a way to create an expression to do this (within the Alignment station labels).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Expressions Losing Custom Pipe Property Reference
Jun 28, 2012Having problems using custom pipe properties in pipe label expressions in 2013? I have some expressions relating to stub callouts and the ones that directly reference the custom properties lose that reference every so often.
For example I have and expression called "STUB-Riser-Length2d" which is defined as "{Riser Length} / SQRT(2)" where "Riser Length" is the custom pipe property. Every week or so it changes to "/ SQRT(2)".
I haven't been able to find the pattern as to exactly when this happens yet. All expressions not referencing custom properties seem to be holding steady. The pipe catalog is on a shared drive on the network, if that makes any difference.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Math Functions Within Label Text Contents?
Jan 13, 2005I would like to perform a math function within a point label and have it displayed along with my point. I have a bottom of curb elevation point and would like to show the top of curb elevation as 0.5' feet greater than the flow line without inserting 2 separate points. For drafting purposes only. (ie. TC 10.50/FL 10.00 ; the TC value would be automatically derived from the FL or point elevation value.)Can math functions be performed within a label's Text Contents?

Feb 21, 2013We have a Structure Style that places a hidden block at the invert of the structure which uses an expression to accomplish Placing the invert text below the structure. (please see attached).
This particular expression was written for a 1"=30 Horz. & 1"=5' Vert. scale and we use it to label our structures in the profile view.
It works great for the 1:30 scale scenario but we also produce 1:20 & 1:50 scale plan / pfl sheets.
3 label styles can be used to accomplish this but would like to create one that would work for all three scenarios if this is possible? (Goal is 1 expression & label style as opposed to 3 of each).
I thought I had it solved & have tried various formulas but can't seem to get it to recognize the various distortions in scale. (The constant being the 5' vertical dimension for all 3 options)
50/5=10
30/5=6
20/5=4

2) I'd also like to add the design speed value to the label as well. This could be pulled from that value set in the design criteria of the alignment creation.

Sep 6, 2012C3D 2013. We have profile line labels, some of which get manually edited (for example, change the "<[Tangent grade(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|SD|OF)]>" to a static number such as 0.29%).
However, if you CTRL+Click and select one of these labels and change the style of that one label, then the manual edits are lost and the label reverts back to the default string.
Is there any way to turn this behavior off?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing The XSL Report Functions
Oct 9, 2013Civil 3D 2013.
First prize for me would be to be able to access Parcel boundary vertices via managed dot net.
I could not find the boundary property of the Parcel object.
It looks like developers can access Parcel vertices via COM, in the Loops property of Parcels.
So, it is possible to combine the two to get what I need.
Then I turned to the Report facility. The METESBOUND XSL iterates Parcel segments but provides the distance and bearing instead of the vertices. I was hoping to get to the bottom of the linked code to edit it and produce the vertices output. But - I failed again. Cannot see how the XSL files get to the data needed.
Is there maybe a book or comprehensive reference on the XSL files that provide the reporting function?
AutoCAD Inventor :: View Orientation Custom Label
Dec 5, 2013I found some code to add labels such as "Top View" "Left" view etc. to view labels, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm OK with the default "View 1" and "Scale 1/4" that comes up on the multiview but I want the view label to say something like "Flat Pattern" and "Scale 1/4" when I do a flat pattern and same for ISO. How to accomplish that with iLogic?

What I would like to do is apply a style that will have the line and text go exactly in the opposite direction. I am trying to avoid dragging the text as that seems to bring up several more issues. I am looking for whatwhere to change within the style editor to make this happen.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Autolisp Expressions On Command Line?
Oct 16, 2012For as long as I have been using Autocad (10 yrs), if I typed an autolisp expression (in brackets) on the command line any output from the espression was echoed to the command line.
E.g. I type (+ 2 2) on the command line and Autocad returns with 4.
I installed SP 1 for Autocad 2013 and this bevaviour ceased, i.e. 4 did not appear in the command window although it did appear on the text screen.
I then un-installed SP1 and "normal" behavior resumed.
When SP 1.1 came out I installed that and again find that I do not get the returns from autolisp functions eched to the command window, only to the text screen.
I have now uninstalled SP 1.1, which I sort of hate to do, because I use those one line Autolisp functions quite alot.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Elevation Label
Jun 20, 2013Any way to label the elevation of an object where it is picked? For example, I'd like to be able to pick on the node of a feature line or 3D polyline (or any object really) and have a label placed that displays the elevation of the object at the point where it was picked. This could appear similar to the surface spot elevation label, but instead of getting it's elevation from a surface, it would come from the object where picked.
Alternatively, any way to create a label style, perhaps using the Note label, to display something like this? I don't even care if it is dynamic or not, static would be fine. However, I do need it to scale innovatively . Tool Pac has a feature that does this, but the label is just a polyline and text that is not annotative.
