AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Label - Equations?

Nov 14, 2011

I am using Civil 3D 2009 version 4.

I have designed a railroad yard that the construction plans require all grading to be to centerline of rail (0.5 feet under the ties) and my profiles are required to be to the top of rail (1.3 feet above the centerline elevation). Since I already have the grading surface done I was hoping there was a way to target my grading surface and add the 1.3 feet to the elevation in the label. Is that passable?

Using the stock 'Elevations and Stations' style I targeted the existing ground for profile 1 and the finished ground for profile 2. Then I tried using the language you enter at the command line to do math in the label (+ 1.3 <[Profile2 Elevation(Uft|P2|RN|AP|Sn|OF)]>) but that only generated a label that read "(+ 1.3 242.00)" instead of the "243.30" that I need for the loading area, for example.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Station Equations - Lock Profile Views Start And End Stations?

Oct 5, 2012

This is using Civil 3D 2012 Service Pack 2.1

When a Station Equation is added to an alignment it causes all of the profile views to get messed up. In addition once the EG profile changes the entire FG profile may also need to be changed. See this video I uploaded to Youtube that fully explains and shows the problem: [URL] ........

So, any way to some how lock the profile views start and end stations? Or to some how lock the PVI locations on a a proposed profile to certain stations?

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 :: Label Profile Label Stations As Raw

Aug 8, 2013

I'm trying to label my Profile label stations as raw stations, 20~20 meters, and I'm not being able to adapt the format to STATION 0, STATION 2, without any plus zeros or +, or -, or commas, or anything, as following in the image.

Is there a easy way to do it?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Geometry Points Of Superimposed Profile To Alignment Label

Mar 1, 2013

I have an alignment label that I normally use to show the PVI's of a profile in the plan view.

This is a little unusual, but in a specific case I wanted to design my profile at one alignment, but show it at another.  I designed my swale profile in the pathway profile view and then superimposed the swale profile on the swale profile view.  I then went back to the swale alignment to add these labels.

It's a no-go AFAICT.  The only profile available for me to select for these labels is the original ground profile from the surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Base Structure Profile Label Location On Top Of Profile View

Nov 4, 2013

I'm working with a structure profile label style and it seems like the only way to anchor the position of the label is based on offsets from the structure itself... Any way to position the label based on the top of the profile view, so that I could make all of my labels horizontally aligned above the profile view?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Elevation In Alignment Label

Sep 25, 2012

I need to know how to display a proposed profile elevation in the major station alignment label, I mean, for example, I want to read in the label "0+000, 494.444". 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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Reference Label Expression?

Jul 3, 2013

I am trying to create a label for fire hydrants in plan view that shows the flange elevation. I want the elevation to be 0.4' above the adjacent road profile. I added a reference text component to my label style that shows the profile elevation. Where would I find the expression for the profile elevation reference text?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile / Alignment Label Expression

Nov 26, 2012

Here is my expression:

IF((FMOD({Raw Station}+5,15))!=0,-1,({Profile Elevation}-100*FLOOR({Profile Elevation}/100)))

I have also tried it without a pair of brackets:

IF((FMOD({Raw Station}+5,15))!=0,-1,{Profile Elevation}-100*FLOOR({Profile Elevation}/100))

and I have tried it using {Station Value} instead of {Raw Station}

Here's what it's meant to do (because it's a long one):

If the station value + 5 is not divisible by 15, return -1
If the station value + 5 is divisible by 15, return the profile elevation, 
if the profile elevation is in the 100 range, subtract 100
if the profile elevation is in the 200 range, subtract 200...etc 

Here is my conundrum: If I use the expression in a profile label, it works fine.  But if I use it in an alignment label as reference text, it returns -1 for every value.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Grade In Line In Profile View

Jul 16, 2012

I have a regular AutoCAD line in a profile view and wondered if there is a way of labeling the grade of the line. I'd think I could use and expression to calculate it. But I don't know how to automatically adjust for the vertical exaggeration without having to have a separate expression for all possible situations.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network -> Profile Label Placement

Civil 3D 2013, SP2

Settings > Pipe Network > Right Click > Edit Feature Settings > Default Profile Label Placement, gets you to this point:

Does the highlighted line only apply at the time that the label is placed?  I have multiple sewers to label and I want to each set of labels at a different elevation. Changing this default will have NO effect on existing labels?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Style - Design Road CL Profile

Apr 9, 2010

how to create a label style for design center of road (simple tangent) in profile that will work between multiple profile views. I've used the 'Create Multiple Views' profile view wizard. I use a horizontal dimension style label for CL road (looks just like an autocad linear dimension). I'd like the label work across separate views i.e. stop at view end, pick back up at view start.

The label I currently use is simply a line component from tangent start dimension to tangent end dimension and the text component is anchored to the line midpoint. Label looks as intended for normal use. For some reason the line drops as if looking for the actual pvi at the right side when i use multiple views.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Label Scaling In View Ports

Apr 3, 2012

I have two files...

File 1: with a Profile View => Units set to Meters and Scale set to 1:100
File 2: Units set to Milimeters, Model Space Scale set to 1:100 (same as File 1), Viewport Scale set to 1:100 , Plot style scale set to 1:1 

Now I want to X-Ref the "File 1" into "File 2" but when I do that, Civ3D scales all the Profile Labels to huge size. I understand, it has to do with different units (meters and millimeters) set in both file... but thats the way I want this to be...

Please note, in File 2: Model Space scale 1:100 is different than Viewport Scale 1:100, because Model Space scale 1:100 is coming from "File 1" which is set to Meters.

I even tried to keep both Model Space Scale and Viewport Scale same in "File 2" but that didn' work either.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipes - Label Entire Network Profile / Want Crossings Only

Dec 5, 2012

I have pipe crossings shown in my profile.  Only crossings (NO PROJECTIONS).  So many elipises.  I want to label them.  Setting the label style at the pipe network does not work (will not override whatever label style was assigned at the pipe creation).  I have accepted this (although it sucks).

Now, to get around it, I go Pipe>Add Label>Add Pipe Network Label.  Label type is "Entire Network Profile".  When I do this, it labels not only the crossings but all projections.  So I have a million labels chilling out in space, where I have no crossing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 - Pipe Network Structure Profile Label

Jul 30, 2013

Water main pipe network profile labels for structures do not attach to the structure properly in C3D 2014 (this same label style works fine in all previous versions of the software, through the 2013 release). The labels come into the drawing at a northing of 0 rather than attaching to the structure itself. However, if you grip edit and reset the labels, they reset to their correct attachment point. Additionally, if you attempt to grip edit the profile labels with Ortho mode on, it moves the label back to a northing of 0. I've created a new block for the structure, but that does not resolve the issue.

I've included a link to a Chronicle video that demonstrates the label behavior. [URL] .......

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Existing Ground And Design Profile - Label Slopes

I have an existing ground profile, and a design profile. All I want to do is label the slopes of the design. When I click my line label style and turn on the text it labels the existing ground and the design ground. I cannot find the setting in my two profile styles to turn the slopes off in the existing ground.

Oh, how can I get a tick on the V.C. dimension line?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profile Pipe Label - Dragged State Anchor?

Sep 24, 2009

The labels normal anchor point is the bottom outside diameter of the pipe, but when dragged the anchor snaps back to the cl of the pipe.

The only workaround I was able to come up with is a "static" leader made up of two lines and an arrowhead block, which you can only slide up or down the pipe with the desired appearance but can't stretch.

The attached image shows the Civil 3D pipe label above and the desirable text/leader legacy version below.
