AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reference Text In Structure Labels

Aug 16, 2012

I am labeling structures and need to use the station & offset for the street alignment not the alignment for the pipe network. It works great for the station but the offset is not working properly. It reads 0 as though it's reading the alignment for the pipe network. I've tried copying a label and adding reference text, creating a new label from scratch, putting 2 pieces of reference text in (1 for the station & 1 for the offset), and just doing the offset in the reference text instead of the station & offset...none of those have worked.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Labels In Profile - Different Text Size / Color

Oct 16, 2012

Suppose you have an existing structure that you are going to tie into with a proposed pipe.

We label existing structures with smaller text and a different color (as opposed to proposed labels)

Is there any way to label the structure where the one single proposed pipe text is a larger text size with a different color, as shown here?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Reference Alignment Not Holding In Data Reference

Nov 28, 2012

I have structures and alignments data referenced.  If I assign the structures ref alignments in the dwg with the data refs for labeling, the next time I open the dwg the ref alignments are set back to none, causing the labels to be ?

It seems like this worked in the past?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Labels In Profile?

Feb 12, 2013

I would like to have the leader arrow attached to the rim of the structure in profile view. Now they are attached along the side of the structure well below the rim. This is for the dragged labels. How can I adjust the arrowhead attachment point?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Expressions In Structure Labels

Feb 21, 2013

We have a Structure Style that places a hidden block at the invert of the structure which uses an expression to accomplish Placing the invert text below the structure. (please see attached).

This particular expression was written for a 1"=30 Horz. & 1"=5' Vert. scale and we use it to label our structures in the profile view.

It works great for the 1:30 scale scenario but we also produce 1:20 & 1:50 scale plan / pfl sheets.

3 label styles can be used to accomplish this but would like to create one that would work for all three scenarios if this is possible? (Goal is 1 expression & label style as opposed to 3 of each).

I thought I had it solved & have tried various formulas but can't seem to get it to recognize the various distortions in scale. (The constant being the 5' vertical dimension for all 3 options)

50/5=10

30/5=6

20/5=4

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Expression In Structure Labels For Survey

Sep 6, 2013

I am trying to make a single point label style that will return a blank line in the label if no data is provided.
 
The way i have it coded now my label for a structure with only two inverts comes out looking like this:

STCB 500 Rim=300.00
12" CONC N IE=295.00
12" CONC S IE=296.00
IE=300.00
IE=300.00
 
I would like the number of lines returned to match the actual number of inverts in the structure and leave out the place holders.:

STCB 500 Rim=300.00
12" CONC N IE=295.00
12" CONC S IE=296.00
 
I can work around this by having a label style for each number of pipes, but i would also like this code to be inseted into a table style and in that case i don't know of any way to assign multiple styles to one table.
  
My current code looks like this:
RIM=<[Point Elevation(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[1 SIZE(CP)]> <[1 TYPE(CP)]> <[1 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[1 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[2 SIZE(CP)]> <[2 TYPE(CP)]> <[2 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[2 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[3 SIZE(CP)]> <[3 TYPE(CP)]> <[3 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[3 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
<[4 SIZE(CP)]> <[4 TYPE(CP)]> <[4 DIR(CP)]> <[IE TEXT(CP)]><[4 INV(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>
LADDER <[LADDER(CP)]>
 
The problem is that 1 INV-4 INV are being defined by an expression that reads like

{Point Elevation}-{1 MD}

so when no data is intered for my UDP "1 MD"  it returns the point elevation. I want an equation that says if rpoitn elevation -measure down=point elevation then no data is shown.

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 :: Slow In Selecting Grips For Structure / Pipe Labels

Jul 15, 2009

I have a pipe network that has labels for structures and pipes. To be able to read the information better, I click on a label and try to move by the grip. The problem is that it freezes the cursor for approximately 10 seconds before I can move it to grip the label and relocate it to another place. Did I miss any setting. Since this is slowing me down in plan production.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Null Structure Labels In Profile Drop To Zero

Aug 20, 2013

Some of our structure styles for null structures are set to display as a block in profile.  When we label these null structures in profile, the label dimension line extends to down to zero, way off the profile view.   When I change the style to display the boundary of the null, the label pops back into place, but when I change the style back to a block, it will drop back to zero.  I just upgraded to 2014 and this did not occur in 2010-2013.  I've upgraded a drawing with existing profiles and also created a new pipe network and the results are the same.  What changed in 2014 that would cause this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adjust Line Spacing In Network Structure Labels

Mar 1, 2013

I have questions in 2012 pipe network labels.

We are having problems with running out of space and would like to squeeze the line spacing between lines to get more room.  We know how to do that in standard MTEXT but can't find the equivalent in the label settings.

I have also noticed problems getting dragged pipe labels to stack.  I check the box to stack on drag, but it doesn't seem to do it.  We created a separate stacked label style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Structure Missing From Pipe Network Data Reference?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Synchronizing Data Shortcuts Breaks Reference To Alignment In Profile Labels

Sep 6, 2013

I have some storm sewer alignments that I've put into profiles in C3D 2011.  The pipe network that I used to create the alignments from is a reference created from a data shortcut.   I've created profiles of these storm sewer alignments, and the station labels for the storm structures are displayed at question marks until I go into the structure properties for each structure and link it to the correct alignment.  

The problem is that whenever I synchronize my data shortcuts because someone has updated something, all of the links in each structure to the alignments disappears and I am back to? for my stations in the profiles and I have to go go fix it again. how to keep this from breaking?

I do see this recent message [URL]  that appears to be a similar problem, but it was said in that thread that this problem was introduced with C3D 2012, but I am using C3D 2011.....

AutoCAD Inventor :: Different BOM Reference Structure In Same IAM Possible?

Jul 26, 2012

Let's say i want to draw a bike. In the 2D IDW of the wheel I want to see the frame as a reference. So, in the .iam of the wheel the frame subassembly is inserted and checked as reference. Also, a new level of detail is created that surpressed the frame.This level of detail is used in the overall assembly of the bike.

So, I end up with several subassembly's that contain other subassembly's just to reference them in the IDW. It would be better to have just one master assembly and create several IDW's from that assembly with different LOD and reference settings.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 - Pipe Structure Editing - Changing Preset Lists For Structure Sizing

Nov 4, 2011

We use C3D 2012 (metric only) - We are attempting to customize our list of structures for Sanitary Sewers.  The structure list shows sizes we do not use and we would like to modify them.  However, when we try to select the "Inner Diameter" it displays a list of sizes that we can not seem to modify or add to.

I have looked at some of the XML files to try and modify or add new sizes (example: AeccStructConcentricCylinder_Metric.xml) , but they do not seem to be recognized even after I restart the program.

Here is what the file looks like:

<ColumnConstList desc="Inner Structure Diameter" dataType="float" unit="mm" name="SID" id="CCL1" visible="1" context="StructInnerDiameter" index="0">

<Item id="i0">1200.0000</Item>
<Item id="i1">1350.0000</Item>
<Item id="i2">1500.0000</Item>
<Item id="i3">1800.0000</Item>
<Item id="i4">2050.0000</Item>
<Item id="i5">2300.0000</Item>
<Item id="i6">2550.0000</Item>

I tried modifying the last line replacing 2550 with 3600.

I also tried adding a line  <Item id="i7">3600.0000</Item>

I saved the XML file and restarted the program with nothing changing that I can see.

Looking for correct file(s) to edit so I can modify the LISTS that come up in the piping modules.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Reference Text

May 31, 2012

I created an alignment style specifically to label typical sections.  My label style includes a triangular symbol (XSM) and alignment reference text (XSL) attached to the symbol.  The label attaches correctly to the alignment geometry points (POB and POE) but the alignment reference text which should call the alignment name instead shows three question marks.  At no point in the process am I prompted to select an alignment which is as expected.  The label should automatically populate with the alignment name.  The label properties indicate the appropriate alignment as the reference object.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reference Text Label For Profiles

Jul 18, 2012

I can create single alignment labels (fixed point, offset etc) that show a chainage and, by using reference text, a profile level for an associated profile.

However, using the main labels that are used for displaying chainages along an alignment (alignment chainage label group) I can also add in a reference text label for profiles here, alongside the chainage one, but there is no option to set which profile it references so it just displays '???'.

Getting the alignment labels to also display associated profile levels at every chainage point would be incredibly useful.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Broken Reference Text Not Coming In?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Geometry Point Labels - Text Style

Jan 21, 2013

I am in the process of modifying our current company standards to conform to another set of standards. The main change is switching from "simplex" font style to "Tahoma".

Simple in theory but problematic in execution, our main alignment label style "GEO-LABL", used for P.O.T, PC, ect. utilizes an underlined reference text object in order to control the length of the line under the call. The base insertion places the call perpendicular to the alignment, when dragged to the left or right it switches to stacked text plan readable. Works like a champ with the "simplex" text style - 1.jpg see attached.

Now simply changing the font to "Tahoma" - 2.jpg the larger you make the text the larger the gap.I am trying to stay away from adding a line for the underline due to the difference in lengths needed when the call gets longer or shorter based on alignment name or stationing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Label With Reference Text And Expressions

Oct 30, 2012

I'm trying to create an alignment label to display profile elevations at regular stations.  Two questions:

1.  I use an expression to set the text height.  When I add a regular text component in the label this works fine, but when I add reference text I can't seem to use the expression as text height.
2. I want to use an expression to 'Truncate' the elevation, so that 178.35m displays as 78.35.  I can't find a way to create an expression to do this (within the Alignment station labels).
