I read through the previous posts but still I am not able to do this. I am using C3D 2012.
What I need to do is label Deflection angles of an alignment (delta angle). The alignment does not have any curve.
So basically it will be some kind of PI or geometry point label showing the deflection angle.
Labelling LT or RT would be great but at this time I dont need that.
I hope it explains.
Using the Best Practices, different components in their own DWG files, all brought together in a production sheet where I can place the labeling for that sheet. I can add labels for Surfaces, Alignments, Pipe networks, through the Xref(s). Evidently this was not extended to Intersection Objects.
What I'm doing now is creating a new Intersection at each street intersection just so I can get a label which shows the station of each alignment at the intersection. Is there a better way to do this?
Setting up my styles for Sanitary Sewer and most counties require a Deflection Angle for your sewer mains.
Any formula to use to show Rt or Lt deflection pipe angles in the Sanitary Sewer plan view Structure Lable Style or how to create one?
Have not found anything that works, the Structure rotation Angle doesn't work at all like that.
I've created a network of my stormsewer (which means the stormsewer lines are all on different streets) and added the inlets to my street profiles.
How do I get the profile structure labels to reflect the stationing from the street alignments?
i've made a serpantine curve that starts from one line of alignment and end on the other line.
i wanted to know how can c change alignment direction when these two feature line and alignment meet each other in order to change the alignment path?
I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.
Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.
I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

Using Civil 3d2012, Is it possible to change the alignment label style set after the alignment has been created? For example, for an alignment that was created with alignment label set X - change the label set to alignment label set Y? It seems like this should be pretty easy, I must be missing something obvious.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question on Alignment PI's. (Point of Inflection/Intersection)I have an alignment where some PI's have curves, others are merely hard bends.
Is there a way to automatically label the PI's even if they have an associated curve? (I'd like PI, PC and PT)Alternatively, can I only show markers at PI's without curves?
I'm trying to edit some existing alignments. When I create new entities, they do not show up in the alignment grid view. Why is this?

Launching alignment grid view/alignment entities,
I’m wondering if there is a way to launch alignment grid view/alignment entities (attached) without the need to first launching “alignment”? This dialogue box is quite essential in editing the values of radius, degree of curvature and deflection angle for the selected curve.
Can I inherit the station from one alignment as the begin station for another alignment?
For example. Alignment 1 is 1000 ft long and starts at sta 0+00.
At sta 8+01, Alignment 2 begins and goes off in another direction.
I manually enter 8+01 for begin station Alignment 2. Life is good. Still in the design stage, and customer needs to modify Alignment 1 to avoid something. Now Alignment 2 intersects Alignment 1 at sta 8+15, but same N/E coordinates.
I manually enter 8+15 for begin station Alignment 2.
It would be better if Alignment 2 could inherit the begin station based on the new stationing from Alignment 1.
I have recreated two surfaces for my design, existing and proposed. I had used polylines for contours for in each surface. I tried labeling the contours but it will not let me select the contour itself.
I then tried to make the contours to 3d polylines and again added them to the surface and rebuilt. I still am not allowed to label the contour since it doesn't let me select the polyline. I am able to select the surface however.
Any way to label a pipe part way between structures? I would like to be able to label a sanitary line where a service ties in with the main line invert.

I want to label the surface sections (eg, fg) in a single location something like what is shown in the attached image.
Currently I am using a major offset label which refers to the surface description* where the surface name is stored. I set the increment to a suitable number which results in multiple labels along the section. I then drag one into position and delete the rest using ctrl-select. While it would be far easier to use multileaders to acheive the correct look, they don't update location with the section views.
We use the description to store the 'friendly' name as our object naming standard wouldn't necessarily make sense to the viewer of the plans.
I am labeling structures in a network on the profile view. I cannot get the leader when i drag the label to anchor to the top of the structure? Is there a way to do this, i figured out how to have the label insert at the middle of the top line of the structure.

how label only the top of my road surface in section view? The road slopes -2% towards a ditch but my my code set labels both the top of road(-2%) and what I assume is the bottom of the road surface (2%) which I don't want to show.
Is it also possible to label my side slopes as 4:1 instead of 25%?
I'm running 2012. Is it still true that I need to label my contours in every drawing? I have a drawing that contains my existing surface (about 90 Acres). I have labeled the contours in that drawing. I then have a output drawing that the existing contours are a data shortcut. The contour labels do not show up.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOften I've found myself dealing with some pretty complicated surfaces that have a lot of nooks and crannies, and many of the contour lines are only in a corner of the surface or are small and closed, and thus when I find myself wanting to have contour labels on all of the contours, there's not really one line I can draw using the "Create Multiple Labels at Interval" option to ensure that every contour is labeled. Thus I end up doing "Create Multiple At Interval" with a few different lines intersecting contours, but I often end up hitting some of the contours multiple times and I get a mess of labels.
I haven't been able to find a way to automatically just multiple labels on all of the contours at an interval in one fell swoop, so I started trying to program one...but then I got stuck with that, too.
Does any built-in method of doing what I want to do, or do I need to continue pursuing a programmatic solution?
How can I make better the second labeling precision in Civil 3D? It's only has four digits precision for the seconds. I did change the ambient settings (Lat Long precision to 8) but haven't got the result.
View 4 Replies View Related I have a drainage model, the data for which has been imported from microdrainage into Civil3d (.sws file) .
The engineer working on the project is playing around with the Invert and Cover levels so I reload the same updated .sws file into my model almost daily expecting the information shown in the labels of the pipes and manholes to simply change. Instead mine seem to disappear and I have to relabel the whole network again.
This wouldn't be much of a problem because labeling only takes a few minutes but with this particular scheme, the client wants the labels shown in a box with a leader. When I relabel, the boxes automatically snap to the center of the manholes without a leader and i then have to drag each one away from the manhole to get the leader to show up.
Where do I set the contour labeling line to not show or be on layer defpoints. When I click on the label line and right click I can edit the contour label line properties and change the Display contour label line to false but not sure where the style is.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a job where there are 3 round pipes and one elliptical pipe going into the same structure. When I put a label on the structure, it shows all 4 pipes, but I can't figure a way to show the elliptical pipe dimensions as 29x45; It only comes in as 45" RCP. I have tried to manipulated the text, but it won't let me me change the individual pipe text in the structure label. When I change the label to read Height x Width, the round pipes show the same as elliptical pipe. Is there a way for my label to show 3 round and 1 elliptical pipe size, or do I have to manually add the elliptical pipe size (which I'd prefer not to do)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust started a drawing in C3D 2013 using an existing template. If I draw an arc using the "Angle" rather than length or radius, entering the angle as 11.1601, then label the arc, the delta angle is converted to hms or 11.0936 . The template and labeling style are ones we've used for several releases. I've compared the feature settings, units and the curve labeling command and can not find where this is being changed.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWe recently started using Civil3d 2013. We made a huge jump from LDD 2008. We have profiles designed and data short cuts are created. We have existing and proposed.
Now i've created a reference and brought them into another drawing. First I tried to set up the color and linetype for each profile. When I do this. Both the existing and proposed become the same color and linetype.I do not see how to select the existing from the proposed and set the color and linetype.
Next I select the proposed profile and right click and select Edit Labels. I start to create the PVI labels. When I do this the PVI's for the existing profile get labeled. I want the proposed profile labeled. Not the existing.

I have multiple alignments. When I create a section view group I would like a label at the top or bottom that is the alignment name. I cant find this option and I'm certain it exists!
