AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Elevation Label That Give Spot Elevation
Jul 11, 2013I am trying to create an elevation label that will give me the spot elevation followed by the letters "TC" and then on the line below subtract 4 inches from the elevation followed by the letters "BC". It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Station At Specific Elevation
Apr 15, 2013Is there a way to label or list a station at a specific elevation? I know how to list and label an elevation at a given station but I need to know where a specific (given) elevation is located on an alignment or profile. I don't care if this is listed or labeled on the alignment or profile, I just need to be able to get a station at a given elevation.

I've already edited my major station label style adding a (profile type) Reference text, and it only displays "?". I suppose I need to associate it with the correct profile, but I've not figured out how to. I show you how the label looks in the attached image.

Jul 5, 2013I 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 :: Feature Line Vertex Elevation Label?
Feb 22, 2010I've seen a label style somewhere that can label the elevation of vertices and elevation points on feature lines. How to style or a procedure for creating a style for this?
I've found a couple of blogs that layout the steps for a style but it seems there are a few ways to do it so I'm looking for what could be considered the most effective/versatile approach.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Override Cogo Point Elevation Label With Text
Dec 17, 2012How I would replace the Elevation label on a point with Alphanumeric text on certain points in a point group (or if it can be done at all)
Some background info:
I work with site diagrams that have monitoring wells and each one has a groundwater elevation value that gets updated every year according to field data. Our current setup is that the monitor well name and elevation values are displayed using point labels and looks like:
x 12-1 (Monitoring well name)
788.432 (Groundwater elevation value)
However, sometimes the monitoring well is dry and we need to display 'DRY' instead of a numeric elevation value. Autocad won't let me put 'DRY' as an elevation because it's not a number. Is there a way to override this, or somehow make the label display 'DRY' if elevation of 0 is entered?
Another use to overriding point label elevation is that sometimes the groundwater elevation that we get from the monitoring well is so far off from the general contour pattern that we will put the elevation value of that well in brackets such as (788.432) and indicate that this means the elevation was not included in the groundwater contour flow map.
Is there a way to do this override, or is there another method I should be using to label my monitoring well elevations? I know I could just MTEXT everything, but that's double the time to update the point elevations for the contours and then updating the mtext to display the numerical elevation values.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Change Elevation Of Each Vertex On Polyline
Sep 1, 2011how to change the elevation of each vertex on a polyline so that each vertex has a different value. The way I attempted this in the past was to click on polyline, click properties and give each vertex the required elevation. However when I looked back at the values I noticed that every vertex had the same value as the last elevation value entered. is it something to do with ensuring polyline is 3D?

-latest civil 3d service pack
A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Label Contour (2D Plines) From Elevation
Nov 21, 2013Of course with ACAD MAP (FDO Labels for example) or better with ACAD CIVIL : no problem !
But often I have to use a Standard AutoCAD ...
A lots of people have already asked for this routine :
But I search in this forums and some others and unfortunately I can't find any correct routine Full operational on ACAD 201X 32/64 bits
I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem
I would like to label them with :
- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation
- either a MText with a blank Mask behind
As you wish ...
Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?
Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :
Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?
So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...
Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !
AutoCad :: Label For Polyline Width In Dynamic Block
Jan 14, 2011I have a dynamic block with several look-up values for the polylines width and I'd like to label them (as a text in the drawing over the block), and be able to move this label where best fits. I've being trying inside the block, but then it can't be moved outside of it. I tried MText with field outside the block, but it has to be applied in many one by one.
Should I use the block itself (how?) or there is a lisp for this? I have a lisp for bearing and distance for lines, which places the bearing text above them and the distance text below those lines, no matter what angle is. It will place in the middle and in the same angle as the line. I edited this lisp file, but how to change it for my purpose, as I don't understanding all the codes inside of it.
