AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Labeling A Line With Multiple Segments As One Segment?

Jul 3, 2012

I have a bunch of lines that are created with multiple segments.  I'd like to annotate the total length.  I can't figure out to do this without labelling each segment along the line using Line and Curve commands.  How do I get one annotation that only shows the total of all the sements?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Display Featureline Vertices When Labeling Segments?

Apr 26, 2012

Is there a way to display vertices and elevation points of featurelines so I can see where to apply labels to individual segments? Without the markers it is a trial and error process of placing labels, then picking the line to activate the grips to see if I missed any segments.

I know I could create a label style that labels all the vertices but that just adds clutter. I'd really like to see some sort of marker if possible.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Closing Multiple Line Segments

Dec 23, 2012

I needed to join lines into a curve, and not being used to all the extra features of Corel over my old application.

I read of what seems to be a feature of closing different line segments, and it seems that Corel can join two different lines at their start and end point, and take on the characteristics of the first line selected and the help file displayed a pictures of what can be done.  BUT I CAN'T DO THAT! 

I am trying to do what is shown in the help file's "closing multiple line segments" right most image.  Where two lines are closed with another and the new middle line is sort of shaped "in between" the two lines.

I included a file with a bitmap of the examples, and lines I traced for it, and what is happening when I try to join the curves with a bezier, both selecting both lines, and selecting start and end nodes.

How is this done?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create A Profile With Multiple Segments?

Jul 10, 2012

how (or if it is possible) to create a profile that contains mutliple segments. THe scenario I have is a proposed profile that ties to existing grade and then picks up again at existing grade some distance down the alignment.

The only way I can find to do this now is to create it all as one profile with no breaks and then go back and remove the profile segments in between the existing grad tie ins. Except when I remove a segment from my profile all of the labels beyond the first segment fo away.

In the past I have been creating multiple profiles but seeing as how long this surface alignment is and how many breaks in the proposed profile there are I would rather have just one proposed profile than several, especially when labeling existing/proposed elevations in the data band.

Here is an example before a segment is removed:

And here is an example after the segment was removed, the green labels are just polys and mtext not C3D entities

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Labels To Span Segments?

Mar 26, 2013

In trying to learn more about label styles, the C3D Help instructs one to:

2.  On the Layout tab of the Label Style Composer, select or create the label component that you want to span multiple          segments.

3.  In the Properties list, under General, change the Span Outside Segments property to True.Specify this setting for each component that you want to span multiple segments.

There is no "Span Outside Segments" to set to True in my Label Style Composer. The only T/F option under General is for visibility.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Labels To Span Segments?

Apr 3, 2013

Mastering C3D - the bit about spanning segments on an exterior line crossing several parcels. It works like the book shows except the crow's feet only appear at the start and end of the parcel's segment that I click on to insert the label, instead of the start and end of the whole segment. The distance the label reports is correct.

The crows feet are blocks inserted at the start and end of the direction arrow component (visibility false) in the author's style? I have turned the arrow's visibility on and can see that the arrow does not span the parcels.

I have another drawing in a later chapter on alignments that has the same spanning label style that works and I can't for the life of me discover the difference between the two.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: No Curves turn Into Regular line Segments

Aug 9, 2012

Our survey crew would like to upload a dxf file into their data collector in order to stake out linework such as curb & gutter with elevation. They have given up on using stakeout points as a standard procedure long before I arrived (being the cad guy I just figured everyone used points for  stakeout)  and up to now they would just use the 2-d linework and manually calc elev on their own. From what I understand our RLS didn't "trust" the data collector to use elevation for staking. Now that we finally talked our RLS into "trusting" the data collector as far as using elevation for staking we are running into problems with our feature lines when exporting to a dxf file. As you may or may not know when exporting to a dxf file it explodes our feature lines into lines, p-line, and arcs. Feature lines that have different elev & no curves turn into regular line segments and they still have the correct elev on each end vertex. Great. Feature lines that had the same elev for all vertex turn into a polyline with no elev or a whacked out elev. Featurelines that had a radius turn into polylines and/or arcs (I don't know what it's using to determine this) but either way the elev is zero or whacked out once again. No good!

So, using a dxf file in their data collector to stakeout linework with elevation? If, so what is your procedure?

Furthermore I find it absolutely ridiculous that... oh never mind, it does no good to complain about the complete lack of transparency between C3D, surveyors, and surveying equipment.I have tested the dxf file with both C3D 2011 & 2012. I have not tried it with 2013, maybe that has changed? Our survey crew is using a Tsc2 data collector.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Eliminating A Segment In A Lot Line

Oct 9, 2012

I have a subdivision plat that I'm working on with a curved lot line.  When I label this particular lot line, Civil 3D labels it like it's two different segments.  In other words, instead of labeling the line as a 100 foot long arc with a radius of 100 feet, it labels it as a 60 foot arc and a 40 foot arc.  I can't figure out how to combine the two segments. 

All of the lots lines were created from polyline objects, and there was no break in the original line work (nor is there any indication of a break in this location when I select it).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Labeling Pipe Structure On Profile With Multiple Networks?

May 7, 2013

I have an existing pipe network and a proposed pipe network.  When I label a structure in my profile view, how do I combine the different network information?   (Or do you usually have one network for both proposed and existing?)

For example, I have an existing pipe that will remain, but I will replace the structure and connect it to new pipes.  On my label, I want to label proposed structure, pipes, and existing pipe using italics.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Projection Grading Create Segments On Parent Feature Line

Dec 12, 2013

When we apply surface projection gradings to feature lines, we get locked vertices on the feature line wherever the grading transitions from cut to fill. In turn these vertices create segments in the feature line which influence any labels applied to the line. I don't want a bazillion segment labels on my FL. I only want segment labels between the physical vertices and elevation points. Is there a workaround or is an enhancement request in order?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Line Segment Label Anchor Point

Jan 30, 2013

I am trying to create surface elevation labels along a polyline and I am having an issue with the label anchor point.  I have created a line label style that uses a reference text to produce the elevation from a specified surface, however when I insert the label the default anchor point for the label is in the center of the line segment and that is where the reference text is taking the surface elevation.  I am looking for the elevation of the surface at the start of each line segment, and I do not know how I can make it stop defaulting to the center of the line segment.

Attached is an overview of what my labels look like, where the anchor point is, and the layout properties within my label style. I am using C3D 2012.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Code To Display Station Of Feature Line At Start Of Segment

Mar 13, 2012

I have a feature line, and a labels table created for it. The table has the following columns: Line or Curve #, Station, Segment Start X, Segment Start Y, Segment Start X, Bearing/Delta, Length, Radius, Grade Ahead.

what code I need for the table to display the station of the feature line at the start of the segment?

I also have an alignment with the same stationing over top of the feature line, but Im not sure how to code a reference text into the table either. I can create an end segment reference text for the plan view labels but even if I copy that code into the labels table it doesn't work.

AutoCad :: How To Not Make Curved Line Break Into Straight Line Segments

Jun 27, 2012

I draw a curved line and would like it to remain as a curved line even after saving the file. However everytime after saving, and opening the file again, the curve breaks into many line segments, which is not what I want! I want the curved line that I draw to remain as a curved line even after saving and opening. How do I do that? I am using autocad2010.

I use the ARC command to draw a couple of lines, they look okay here. But after I saved it, and re-open it again, what previously appeared as curved lines changed in their appearance to polyline segments.

AutoCad :: Labeling Line Bearings

Oct 15, 2007

I am doing a few simple plot plans and I would like to find simpler way to place the bearings of the property lines just by clicking on them or the ends of each line like I do for their length. I just use a Aligned dimension with everything turned off except the text so that is parallel with the lot line.

There is probably a simple solution I'm just not finding one, I cut and past the text out of the quick calculation now and rotate it, and I know there's a better way.

AutoCad 2D :: Creating Smooth Transition Between Line Segments

Dec 19, 2013

I am a first time Autocad user and have spent most of yesterday trying to work through this issue but am still not able to perform this. I have attached an image which on the lower part of the lines shows arcs with large radii which transition to parallel lines in the upper part of the image. Where the two meet there is an abrupt change in angle which I wish to have as a smooth transition from the gradual change in angle of the arcing lines to the parallel straight lines.

This is how the transition between the line segments should look.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Interference Of Solids And Line Segment

Apr 7, 2013

I'm trying to figure a "fast" algorithm to obtain the amount of material (in linear distance) between 2 points within an assembly i.e. if I draw a line between any two points P1 & P2 in an assembly, what is the length of this segment that goes through material and what is the length that goes trough empty space?

For now I'm creating a thin cylinder as a new part, place it with one end at P1 and the other end at P2, calculate the interference volume of this body with the rest of the assembly and divide this number by the total volume of the cylinder. but has some problems:

1. It is VERY slow, and I want to call this function lots of times.
3. Is not accurate due to the finite diameter of the cylinder.
2. If the assembly has some interferences, the result is wrong (accounting same volume more than once)
