AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Positioning And Adjustable Leaders

Jul 9, 2013

I need labeling my alignment. Ive been trying to figure out a way to label my alignment in drawing with a 45° line that guides another line and text oriented by view that names the station and a setting that starts a count, like "COURVE 1, COURVE 2", from the start to the end of the alignment.  All on an adjustable length line, but all I got is fixed length lines, and I'm having overlapping problems when I have multiple horizontal geometry points or other points to label.

Dragging the labels upward pull the leader line component with them and they do not remain anchored to the structure. When I say leader, I am not referring to the dragged state as that creates a leade with a landing at an angle. When i use the grip in the alignment, it comes to an dragged state label, it doesn't fit the pattern I need. What I really want is a line component anchored to the alignment point even though I drag the "Line 2" and the text of the label upward or downward, while these are still oriented by the view.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adjustable Length Leaders On Structure Labels In Profile

Aug 12, 2012

Any way to label my structures in profile with a vertical line that shows the structure ID, Station number, invert data, etc. all on an adjustable length line. Ive got it worked out for how to show it on a  fixed length line, but the problem is when you have multiple structures in close proximity the labels tend to overlap. Dragging the labels upward pull the leader line compnent with them and they do not remain anchored to the structure. When I say leader, I am not referring to the dragged state as that creates a leade with a landing at an angle. What I really want is a line component that stay perfectly vertical and remains anchored to the structure insertion point even though I drag the text of the label upward. Is there a way to do this? Seaching the internet and reviewing ym texts has yet to yield an answer.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Why Use Text Leaders In Cad Plans

Oct 12, 2013

So we are doing some plans production standards. One thought was why are leaders needed if all the object are called out witha  station and offset in civil engineering plans?

Why use text leaders in cad plans?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dragged Labels Leaders Not Pointing To Point

Nov 9, 2006

I have some points labeled with elevation only. If I drag the labels away from the point leaders are created but the arrows do not point to the centers of the points. I looked in the label style>dragged state>leaders but I don't see anyway to tell the leaders where to point.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linework And Text But Not Blocks And Leaders - Greyed Out

Dec 11, 2013

When I draw new linework and text it shows up greyed out, even though it should be showing up full tone.  Curiously, blocks that are inserted on the same layer as the linework and text come in full tone.  

The attached image provides an example of what's happening (it's difficult to see the greyed out text reading "TEST", the leader, and a sawtooth section of polyline). 

More info:

Xrefed drawings are displayed at full tone.

Linework from earlier sessions are displayed at full tone - this is only affecting new work.

This happens only in this drawing.  

This happens on different sessions of C3D (i.e. different computers). 

This happens on when drawing on any layer.

The layers are unlocked.

This occurs in both model and paperspace. The drawing has been audited (no errors were found). Everything prints out properly. 

I suspect there's a variable that deals with visibility has been inadverdantly changed in this particular drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Changing Profile Line Label Style Causes Label String To Revert To Default

Sep 6, 2012

C3D 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 :: Removing Leaders From Individual Dragged Point Elevations?

Aug 9, 2010

I'd like to turn off the leader for individual points that have had a component dragged.  For most points, I need the leader, but for others, it's just in the way.  I'm beginning to think that I have to make a whole new label style in which the leader for dragged components is made invisible.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Add Manually Adjustable Columns In A BOM

Feb 28, 2013

I'm doing a revision rearrangement and would like to add to the BOM New, Existing, and Relocated properties.  The problem is that each individual component may be unique.  Ie.  I have a desk w/ 3 identical monitors.  One monitor is existing and the others are new.  I'd like to have the BOM show that I have 3 monitors, 2 are new and 1 is existing.  The BOM would have 4 columns, one for the total number of parts and 3 for the New, Existing, and Relocated counts. 

I don't mind if the new columns need to be manually updated.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Style For PI

Feb 15, 2013

I have applied a client's style to the alignment to show PI's. In this case we have 2 alignments close to each other (NB & SB of road). PI's close to each other will then overlap. 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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Elevation Label

Jun 20, 2013

Any 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 :: Add If / Then Statements To Label Styles

Jan 2, 2014

I am specifically working with the Section Major Offset lable. The City of Dallas wants the lable to call out the Offset distance and direction over the elevation (example "30.0' LT."). Since zero has not offset direction the label reads "0.0' T." at the center point. Is there a way to include an if/then statement in the label style to remove the hard coded text?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Corridor FG In Sections

We have created sections from our corridor. We see FG and EG, we can use bands for EG from surface. How do we get the FG band to show the elevations for FG? The only option we have is the EG surface. We have tried to create a surface form the corridor in the corridor properties but that surface still doesn't show up in the surface list in the bands. I would have thought this info would be dynamic and come directly from the corridor would it not?
