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 :: 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).

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 :: Label Text To Be Center Justified In Dragged State Stacked Text

Apr 11, 2013

In the dragged state, I don't want to use 'As Composed' because the label is composed to be parallel to the line, but I want it to flip to horizontal to the view when dragged.  This is working fine with 'Stacked Text'

What is not working is the text justification.  I want it to remain centre justified, as it is composed.  But there doesn't seem to be any option for this when you use the 'Stacked Text' option for the dragged state.  I thought that setting the 'Leader Justification' to false might do it, but that just makes it always left justified.  Am I missing something here?  Is there no 'Top right/bottom right/middle center/top left.....' option for Stacked Text?  And if not, why not?

I'm in 2011.

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.

I have an offset style, offset based on a Reference Cogo Point and Aligment.

If I change to a difference style, the reference cogo point goes to "none".

I need to change to a Child style, but use the same cogo point.

Is there a way to keep the orginal Value (cogo point)?

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 :: Broken Reference Text Not Coming In?

Jul 15, 2013

I'm in a dwg that had broken references.  I right clicked on Alignments to repair all broken references.  Everything came in (surfaces, alignments, pipe networks) but text did not come in from a source drawing; the Source Dwg is a Pipe Network.  The network came in but not the text.  I opened the source dwg & the text is there.  The Event Viewer is showing no broken references so what I'm I missing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 - Dynamic Surface Profiles Acting As Static Profiles

Nov 14, 2012

I am having some issues with surface profiles on a dreffed alignment no updating dynamically.

Currently it requires me to set them to static, then back to dynamic and they update.

I am well aware of the issue of dreffed surface profiles staying static. I am using the work around of dreffing in the surface and sampling in the drawing using the dreffed alignment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Text Being Placed At 0,0

Feb 4, 2013

I keep getting the words "Label Text" being placed at 0,0 every time I insert a profile view into my drawing.  Is there a simple way to change something in the settings to either not display this at all or sontrol how/where it is displayed?  It is annoying when you do a zoom extents being you now get 2 small dots on screen, 1 being the actualy drawing at the correct utm cooridnates and the other being this piece of text down at 0,0.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Reference Text To Sub Item Of An Object

Oct 18, 2012

Using C3d 2013. I am looking for a way to place the deflection angle of the PI of an Alignment in the label of a structure part that references said alignment.  But PIs aren't an option when I select Reference Text type.  Common sense tells me it would be under Alignments, but none of the PI data is an option of the Contents' Text Component Editor.  I couldn't find it under any of the other Reference Text types either.  I can pull the station value from the referenced alignment, is there a way to get it to tell me the deflection angle at the PI it sits on?  Or even the difference in the instantaneous direction just before and just after the part?

I know listing the deflection angle of a PI is possible, as I have seen it in several examples of labeling alignments.  I just want to place it in the label of other objects.who can tell me how to display LT (to represent left) and RT (to represent right) when the deflection is positive or negative respectively.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Customizing Viewport Reference System Text Format

Sep 12, 2012

I'm adding a reference system grid to my paper space viewport. The default text format for the military grid reference system is almost perfect, except for the figures that are superscripted (see attached figure) - which I would prefer are aligned on the same baseline as the larger text, but still at the smaller size. Is there a way to customise the text format so that the reference system remains dynamic, but I get the exact format I want?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Math Functions Within Label Text Contents?

I would like to perform a math function within a point label and have it displayed along with my point. I have a bottom of curb elevation point and would like to show the top of curb elevation as 0.5' feet greater than the flow line without inserting 2 separate points. For drafting purposes only. (ie. TC 10.50/FL 10.00 ; the TC value would be automatically derived from the FL or point elevation value.)Can math functions be performed within a label's Text Contents?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reference Surface (x) Not Found In Reference Drawing

Jul 28, 2011

I am getting this error in my production drawings.

My setup is as follows:

- EG.dwg has my existing surface in it. I create a data reference to use it in other drawings.

- Level One.dwg has the EG surface data referenced in, and I use this to create alignments, profiles, and finish surface. All of these are turned in to data references.

- Storm Sanitary.dwg has my pipe designs. I data reference in the two surfaces, profiles, and alignments, and create pipe networks. I create references for these networks.

- Plan Profile.dwg is the production sheet I'm getting this error from. Every one of my civil objects is data referenced in to this drawing. Everything is inserted correctly, the pipes show correct FG surface elevations for their rims, etc.

BUT when I open this drawing, I get this error. I assume it's because my FG surface is not directly in the storm sanitary.dwg.

How do I get rid of this error, without combining drawings, or promoting the surface to one or more drawings? Isn't this exactly what data references is made for?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Override Cogo Point Elevation Label With Text

Dec 17, 2012

How I would replace the Elevation label on a point with Alphanumeric text on certain points in a point group (or if it can be done at all)

Some background info:

I work with site diagrams that have monitoring wells and each one has a groundwater elevation value that gets updated every year according to field data. Our current setup is that the monitor well name and elevation values are displayed using point labels and looks like:

x 12-1 (Monitoring well name)

   788.432 (Groundwater elevation value)

However, sometimes the monitoring well is dry and we need to display 'DRY' instead of a numeric elevation value. Autocad won't let me put 'DRY' as an elevation because it's not a number. Is there a way to override this, or somehow make the label display 'DRY' if elevation of 0 is entered? 

Another use to overriding point label elevation is that sometimes the groundwater elevation that we get from the monitoring well is so far off from the general contour pattern that we will put the elevation value of that well in brackets such as (788.432) and indicate that this means the elevation was not included in the groundwater contour flow map. 

Is there a way to do this override, or is there another method I should be using to label my monitoring well elevations? I know I could just MTEXT everything, but that's double the time to update the point elevations for the contours and then updating the mtext to display the numerical elevation values.
