Apr 3, 2012

Am I correct in assuming that if Surface Labels by One Point is chosen, the slope as shown is the maximum slope of the surface triangle where the point was chosen??

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Find Insertion Point For A Surface Label

Aug 1, 2012

If I use this code it will give me the insertion point for a block

(setq ent (car (entsel "
Select Main Object: ")))

(setq InsPt (assoc 10 (entget Ent)))

Now if I try to use this for a surface label and try to get the insertion point

(setq ent (car (entsel "
Select Main Object: ")))

(setq oEnt (vlax-Ename->Vla-Object ent))
(vlax-dump-object oEnt)

I dont see anything that will get the insertion point.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Station Label Offset And Distance

Nov 5, 2012

New to civil 3d...I have a series of bore locations along an alignment that I need the station offset and distance. I tried POINT -> ALIGNMENT: STATION/OFFSET, and that prompts me to tell where i want the offsets to go. I want to be able to pick the center of each bore and have civil 3d tell me that information. What command do I use?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Capture Drag Distance Of A Label?

Dec 13, 2012

Any way to capture the drag distance of a Civil 3D label object?

If that was a property, then we would be able to make our Leaders display or not display based on the distance from the object. If I only drag a label a half-inch I might not want a leader, but if I go further I would like the leader to appear.

It would be easy enough to do this with expressions if you could make that property available in the expressions dialog.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Bearing And Distance Between 2 Points?

Mar 19, 2010

In LDD I could label a bearing and distance between 2 points. (Points - not actual surveyed points, but 2 spots I click)

In 3d 2010 I only can label a whole line, not only a portion that I choose. This has to be a label option still.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Gap Distance From Marker

Apr 25, 2013

I read all of the posts I could on point gaps and know how to make the leader reach for the center of the point. What I want is for the leader to actually attach to the block of the style I have created. Is this possible, or do I need to find a new way to label of these points so that the leader touches the block. Also I noticed the gap is not consistent from point to point.

I am using civil 3d 2011 with the latest service pack.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grade To Surface At A Fixed Distance?

Aug 9, 2013

When we created our fist C3D template in 2007 it was possible to make a grading criteria that targeted a surface at a fixed distance.  In other words, the slope was variable.  Looking at it again in 2013 it appears it's not possible to creat a criteria like that.  Am I missing something?   Or was that option removed? .....perhaps because it was too unstable?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Label With Coordinates?

May 4, 2012

i've got a bunch of points that need a coordinate label. my drawing is on a state plane coordinate base but i want the point labels to be on an artificial coordinate base. i basically need to start in the corner of a parking lot at 0,0 and work my way out from there with the coordinates based on that 0,0. Is this a possibility?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Label Style

Apr 27, 2012

I'm using AutotCAD Civil 3D 2012 in the Civil 3D workspace, trying to create a point label style to show what I need it to show. I click on a point and select it's properties. Once on the properties tab I go down to the point label style box and clicked on the down arrow. A list of options then comes up and I selected the create/edit option. A small point label style box then appears and i choose the button directly next to the drop-down list and the label style composer box pops up. In this box I go to the layout tab and then go down to the contents box. I select the browse button next to the contents to select the contents. I select the contents I want but when I apply it every point has those contents and I need just that one point to have those contents.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Label Overlap

Mar 21, 2012

I'm thinking that AutoCAD has no such feature, but I'll ask just to make sure.

What I am doing is mapping points which each have a simple point number label. (asbestos load buried in landfill in case you are curious) There are many points which have the same coordinates (up to 20 points sometimes). So, then I have to drag each label individually until all labels are visible.This take a ridiculous amount of time when you are talking about 1000+ points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Determine X Y Location Of Surface Label?

Oct 11, 2012

I need to extract the XY location of a surface label. Specifically, I am trying to determine the coordinates of the first picked point in a two-point slope label. But in looking at the IAeccSurfaceSlopeLabel interface in the ActiveX documentation, I'm not seeing where this data is stored. Even for a simple surface spot elevation label (IAeccSurfaceElevationLabel) I don't see a property that stores the coordinates.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rotating Point Label Style?

Apr 10, 2013

Imported points and I have a label style to label tree sizes automatically,  but when there are many trees near each other labels start to overlap.  So I will typically rotate the label style 180 degree or drag the label, but I am curious if its possible to have label always stay horizontal no matter what my rotation angle is.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Corner Point Label Style

Apr 28, 2012

i have a building corner point label style that labels the corner of bldgs with the elev on top of an arrow and the full description of a bdlgc on bottom of arrow...rotated at 45 degrees....

i have 3 components...a block of an autocad leader i call an arrow that i just drew from left to rt on layer 0 and named the component arrow...then i have the elevation and the description

problem is that when i rotate label to move it out of way of obstructions it flips the elev on bottom and the desc on top!!

i have tried a number of combinations of anchor pts and changing the "flip anchor pts with text" to true/false under the general tab of the label style composer...

i cant get it!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Move Cogo Point Label

Sep 18, 2013

I have a large number of cogo points that I have set. I would like to move, as a group, the label portion only and leave the coordinate value as is. This would be a time saver as I am seeing that I am going to have to move every point individually. I used to be able to do this in LDD along with changing the rotation. I've tried locking the points and then moving them but the values change. Not too happy with the lack of control with the leader either.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Sport Elevation Label Rotate

Jul 5, 2013

I have been searching for a way to rotate surface spot elevation labels but have not been able to find a solution to do so.  Has this feature been added to 2013 or 14?  I do not want to use the point and label styles for my surface elevation, even though these can be rotated.  I have several miles of roadway with many horizontal curves and would like the surface labels aligned with and along the centerline.  I prefer not to update the spot elevations when the profile is revised.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Use Surface Contour Label Group Class

Nov 6, 2013

How to use the Surface Contour Label Group class in the .NET API.

My first guess was that I had to create an instance object of the class and name it, and then use a "Create" method (e.g., CreateMultipleAtInterval) from there, like this:

Dim labelgroup As SurfaceContourLabelGroup

labelgroup.CreateMultipleAtInterval(arguments) 

However, this doesn't work, as Visual Studio told me "Warning: Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated." 

I tried just saying: 

SurfaceContourLabelGroup.CreateMultipleAtInterval(arguments) 

But that didn't seem to work either. How this class works and get it to add some contour labels to a drawing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Fix Trashes Point Label Style Scaling

Jun 22, 2011

Point label styles do not scale properly in raster plots.  Raster plots have long been my fix for making wipeouts and masks behave.  Without the excellent fix raster plots have been, I'm sunk!  All of my work depends upon raster plotting to maintain consistently correct output with absolutely no wipeout or masking errors.  My point label styles all have a text height of 0.11" which is the plotted height according to the documentation.  They are exactly the right height in all page setups with non-raster plot devices.  But, when my page setup includes a raster device the text is scaled to just a speck. It should be 32 pixels high at the 288 pixels per inch I have specified but it is barely two or three pixels high both on my display and in my ploits.

The attachments show the wipeout/mask problem in 2012 DWF output and the rescaling of point labels in 2012 raster (TIFF) output.  I am in critical need of a fix that does not involve special point label styles just for raster plots.  Autodesk!?  I already have to use a special pen tables for raster plots with pens sizes scaled for each dpi resolution I use but that has been settled for many years now.
