Structure/Pipe/Field Ref. Note Possible?

[Anonymous]

I need a note that looks like the attachment. I can get the first part and reference the Station from an alignment and can grab the pipe size from the "Connected pipe" data including direction, but there does not seem to be a data field for the length of the connected pipe. Is there any way to combine a note using structure data and pipe data? The format cannot change as this is dealing with our State department of transportation.

The last line of my note is a sheet reference using sheet set manager. Can this be combined with a style, or can the attachment point reference another note somehow?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Daryl

Does no-reply mean that this is a stupid question that has been asked a lot and I didn't happen to find the answer or is it too hard to answer on a Monday? If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thank You

The pipe/inlet part should be possible. The Sheet number would have to be an
override (can't recall if you can override structure notes,) or a piece of
MTEXT, or a sep't style for each page number you wanted to call out. In all
cases, it would be manual.

And the three line box will give you fits with dragged states. Unless you
REALLY have to have them, I'd suggest you consider a simple box. The three
side box is a hold over from board drafting when you didn't want to erase
the box to edit the text. Yeah, it's "standard" in many offices, but you
have to ask if it should be that way.

Just my $.02.

I am testing it now, but I think that you just enter the field expression into the label style. The one drawback is that you will have to have a different label style for each sheet.

It would be nice if there was a label text override for the structure labels in plan view as there is in the profile view.

Not sure about the three sided box. I will let you know what I find.
