get 2012 to make an expression for curve delta angles come in DMS and not decimal degrees? Why do I need this? Well C3D does not have a delta angle label for curve pipe and our client requires it on the drawings.
View 9 RepliesI have created an alignment from an imported polyline. I now need to vary the delta angle between some of the tangents for different scenarios. I see the delta value in the panorama but it is not editable. Is there a way to enable it? If not, how can I adjust the angle parametrically?

When I run the Map Check report in C3D 2010, the Delta angle on curves displays to a tenth of a second, no matter what I do with settings. It should display to the whole second.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to label the intersection points on an alignment with the following info:
Sta:
Delta Angle
LAT
LONG
We can make it work with a Northing and Easting, but there is no option for a LAT LONG under the tangent intersection labels. I tried to make an expression that would format a Northing as a LAT but it just gave me jibberish.
I was able to do it but adding a point at each PI and making a point reference text, but you then have to select a different point for each label.... which works but it is still a multi step process.
I would like to build an expression that I can use in a label at a structure in a profile view to show the horizontal angle change on the alignment at the structure.
Of course, in the available structure expressions, we do not have the alignment delta angle at that point even though I have a referenced alignment in my pipe network.
Our subdivision code has minimum drop across manhole for different ranges of horizontal angle change.
I want to create a label that shows the minimum drop required at a manhole off it's referenced alignment and I would like to see it on the profile view, because that is where the drop value is relevant.
find the delta angle of an arc? I know the length and radius.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to lable the delta of a PI in an alignment where one segment is an arc and the following is a non-tangent line.
Geometry points don't offer delta and Tangent Intersections won't label at PCs and PTs.
Is there an expression that can be used?
I'm trying to build the ditch portion of my Subassembly backwards from an offset target "DitchOffset". The elevation of this point should be derived from a point that is using Slope and Delta Y from point "P12" (see attached). Must be at least 1m from the bottom of SubBase with a 5:1 slope.
The Ditch Bottom will be variable width. I'd like to be able to select my offset alignment for my ditch bottom. Have a link from this point extend at a slope to the Target Surface to complete the foreslope.
I can't quite picture how to complete the links from the DitchOffset point. This may be complicated but the diagram identify what I'm trying to do.
I'm using civil 3d 2008 and trying to lable my pavement radius with Line and Curve Label but the delta setting is only in decimal, how do i get it to read degrees, minutes and seconds.

I am trying to create an expression in SAC and am having trouble getting it to work the way I want. The goal is to have the subassembly figure out what slope to use. If I do not have super elevation, I want it to use the grade for the in the input.output parameters. If I do have super elevation, I want it to use the super settings. So far I have this
IF((Side=Left)AND(SE.HasLeftSO),SE.LeftSO,CType(ShoulderSlope,Double))
This works if I am only creating a left side. However, I want it to decide which side super elevation settings by the input parameter side.
One of the main things I do is label elevations from an alignment and a profile, in plan view.
I have a style that does this, and it gets to the point where it asks to pick the profile.
If the profiles are data ref's, i can pick from a list, but if the alignment is xreffed, you must do a graphical pick.
This is super inconvenient, as my profile views are in a different base than my alignments, and they are way off to the side.
So I must xref the profile base in, and split my viws so I can pick them without excessive zooming.
Did Autodesk neglect the fact that if they make objects available via xref, they also need to make child objects available?
If I choose to use a dref as the data source, I must make a dref to the alignment and each profile I want available.
Three steps per street at a minimum.
This is also super inconvenient.
I'm struggling to find a decent workflow on this. Both approaches seem painful.
I had always thought the xreffed objects would provide the profiles, and only found they do not just now [URL]...
I need to edit a personnal expression in VBA ("COMPA")
I join an attachment to show you what i want to edit.
The problem is that i don't find where i can modify this expression in VBA in the database.
I'm trying to use an expression for text height and everytime I enter the name of the expression I get "Invalid Input". Is there a trick to doing this?
I even changed a style that "HAD" allowed me to use an expression, to a number then tried to reenter the same expression name that was there and get "Invalid Input".

I am trying to make a single point label style that will return a blank line in the label if no data is provided.
The way i have it coded now my label for a structure with only two inverts comes out looking like this:
STCB 500 Rim=300.00
12" CONC N IE=295.00
12" CONC S IE=296.00
IE=300.00
IE=300.00
I would like the number of lines returned to match the actual number of inverts in the structure and leave out the place holders.:
STCB 500 Rim=300.00
12" CONC N IE=295.00
12" CONC S IE=296.00
I can work around this by having a label style for each number of pipes, but i would also like this code to be inseted into a table style and in that case i don't know of any way to assign multiple styles to one table.
My current code looks like this:
RIM=<[Point Elevation(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[1 SIZE(CP)]> <[1 TYPE(CP)]> <[1 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[1 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[2 SIZE(CP)]> <[2 TYPE(CP)]> <[2 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[2 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[3 SIZE(CP)]> <[3 TYPE(CP)]> <[3 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[3 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[4 SIZE(CP)]> <[4 TYPE(CP)]> <[4 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[4 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
LADDER <[LADDER(CP)]>
The problem is that 1 INV-4 INV are being defined by an expression that reads like
{Point Elevation}-{1 MD}
so when no data is intered for my UDP "1 MD" it returns the point elevation. I want an equation that says if rpoitn elevation -measure down=point elevation then no data is shown.
I am trying to create a label for fire hydrants in plan view that shows the flange elevation. I want the elevation to be 0.4' above the adjacent road profile. I added a reference text component to my label style that shows the profile elevation. Where would I find the expression for the profile elevation reference text?

Here is my expression:
IF((FMOD({Raw Station}+5,15))!=0,-1,({Profile Elevation}-100*FLOOR({Profile Elevation}/100)))
I have also tried it without a pair of brackets:
IF((FMOD({Raw Station}+5,15))!=0,-1,{Profile Elevation}-100*FLOOR({Profile Elevation}/100))
and I have tried it using {Station Value} instead of {Raw Station}
Here's what it's meant to do (because it's a long one):
If the station value + 5 is not divisible by 15, return -1
If the station value + 5 is divisible by 15, return the profile elevation,
if the profile elevation is in the 100 range, subtract 100
if the profile elevation is in the 200 range, subtract 200...etc
Here is my conundrum: If I use the expression in a profile label, it works fine. But if I use it in an alignment label as reference text, it returns -1 for every value.
I was wondering if it is possible to use an expression in a general note label? The type of label I am using is a general note label that displays our finish grade profile elevation in plan view. What I am trying to do is add a value to that label for the TC elevation and G at the ROW. I noticed in the settings tab of the tool space, surfaces has an expression button that has what I want but I am not seeing that under General/Label Styels/Note. Is it possible to right my own expression? We are using Civil 3D 2008 with Windows XP.

I'm trying to build an expression to display the Middle Ordinate for profile curves. I don't usually do this but it's required for this project.
The first thought was to subtract the PVI elevation from the profile elevation. The PVI elevation is easy but I don't see an easy way to get the profile elevation. I can go through the whole formula for calculating the grade. But that will probably take some debugging.
I am looking for a Line Label Style Expression which will perform a rounding function on distance labels that display my "General Segment Length" value.
What I need is to be able to remove "Trailing Zeros" from my distance values, so that if precision is set to say 0.01 and my distance value is measured as 45.5, I do not get 45.50 but 45.5.
I need this to round for:
1 decimal place
2 decimal places and
3 decimal places

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe neww line expressions for Grid distance are phenominal. My problem is getting them into curves. All I want to do is apply the grid scale factor to the curve length and radius, but I can't narrow down the parameter. The Drawing Scale conversion links to the annotation scale. I've also noticed people just scripting in the value, but that doesn't work when the majority of the office doesn't operate at that level.
Also, I work in grid and need to convert to ground. I noticed that the system only does ground to grid, so I'm inputting an inverted scale factor to get the results in need in my distances.

I looking at using the ML or MR based on if the distance is Plus or Minus.
When I open the expression variables available in a label style, I see different options available for different label styles.Can I combine expression variables from different label types? For example, say I want to make an expression that takes the Surface Elevation from a spot elevation label and subtract a variable from a pipe variable such as end invert elevation?
If you can do this, were can I find the expressions file on my computer or network? Can they just be dragged and dropped between label styles?
