AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Elevation Label That Give Spot Elevation

Jul 11, 2013

I am trying to create an elevation label that will give me the spot elevation followed by the letters "TC" and then on the line below subtract 4 inches from the elevation followed by the letters "BC".  It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Spot Elevation Label With Dynamic Location

May 8, 2013

I know that I can add coordinates for such elevation using text component editor but I have to add the letter "N" for North or "E" for East to identify the location of the elevation (North/East/South/West). But, is there a way to make a label style that reads up the location of an elevation automatically?

I've attached pictures below for this issue.

xrefing a drawing that has annotated surface labels spot elevations into a Precise Grading Breakout Sheet, but making sure those labels plot screened.  How do I make sure I can plot it screened?  I have set the label styles By Layer and the text within that style is set By Layer and the Layer I created for the styles is set to plotstyle screened and color 8, I also made sure that the Precise Grading breakout sheet has the xref layers applicable to those surface labels set to screened plotstyle and color 8.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Elevation Takes On Elevation Of Snapped Object?

Dec 19, 2012

When I snap a point to an object, the point takes on the elevation of the object. I would rather the point's elevation stay as is.

-changing osnapz variable

-latest civil 3d service pack

A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Object Elevation Label

Jun 20, 2013

Any way to label the elevation of an object where it is picked?  For example, I'd like to be able to pick on the node of a feature line or 3D polyline (or any object really) and have a label placed that displays the elevation of the object at the point where it was picked.  This could appear similar to the surface spot elevation label, but instead of getting it's elevation from a surface, it would come from the object where picked.  

Alternatively, any way to create a label style, perhaps using the Note label, to display something like this?  I don't even care if it is dynamic or not, static would be fine.  However, I do need it to scale innovatively .  Tool Pac has a feature that does this, but the label is just a polyline and text that is not annotative.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment And Elevation Label Combination

May 23, 2013

I need a label style that not only labels the major stationing of an alignment, but also displays the corridor surface elevation beneath it.

                                              10+000

                                                   |

                                              22.10m

Something similar to above.

I can add reference text for surface elevation to the alignment label, but all I get is the ???, no surface value.

What am I missing?

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 :: Surface Sport Elevation Label Rotate

Jul 5, 2013

I have been searching for a way to rotate surface spot elevation labels but have not been able to find a solution to do so.  Has this feature been added to 2013 or 14?  I do not want to use the point and label styles for my surface elevation, even though these can be rotated.  I have several miles of roadway with many horizontal curves and would like the surface labels aligned with and along the centerline.  I prefer not to update the spot elevations when the profile is revised.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Feature Line Vertex Elevation Label?

I've seen a label style somewhere that can label the elevation of vertices and elevation points on feature lines. How to style or a procedure for creating a style for this?

I've found a couple of blogs that layout the steps for a style but it seems there are a few ways to do it so I'm looking for what could be considered the most effective/versatile approach.

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.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Change Number Of Decimal Places In Elevation Label

May 7, 2012

The defaul label style for the Elevation of points is set to 3 decimal places. We are trying to change the elevation display to 2 decimal places. We have tried the directions in the following discussion: [URL].......

Which is:

Toolspace

->Settings
-->Drawing name
--->Edit Drawing Settings
---->Ambient Settings
----->Elevation
------>Precision -> We modify from 3 to 2 decimal places.

It does not modify the display settings.

Also:

Toolspace

->Settings
-->Drawing
--->Point
---->Label Styles
----->(right-click) Edit label styles
------>Layout
------->Text
-------->Contents
--------->click on the "..." (three points) button

(Open "Text Component Editor - Contents"

--------->Select Point Elevation in the driop down list.
---------->Precision: Set to 0.01
------------>Ok, Apply, etc...

This does not seem to work either.

Revit :: Spot Elevation Finding Perimeter Only?

AutoCAD Architecture :: 2013 Plan Elevation Label Rotation Angle?

How can you change the rotation on the screen accept to use the rotation command?

The tag itself is referencing a block I went to the block and changed the block now if I go to insert the multi view block it prompts for rotation but not to edit the attribute is there any way to get it to do both?
