I've got one time in my Lab for one more Style discussion. I'm currently talking about Point Label w/ Block, a surface style, and a Parcel Line Label with Child. What would you want to see discussed? Parcel Area Table? Vertical Curve Labeling? Alignment Stationing? Station Offsets? Hurry, I'm on a deadline, but thanks for your input! -- James Wedding, P.E. IT Manager Jones & Boyd, Inc.

James,
My preference would be Vertical Curve labelling.
Thanks for asking.

Well with all the different alignment labeling we do, I would vote for alignments. Some of our labeling may need to be prefixed (or suffixed) with CL, FL, L, R, etc. Symbology is also different depending on the client - full tick, half tick, dots, etc. It would be cool to utilize a library of alignment styles. But then again - horizontal station offset w/profile elevation(?) would be good. You just can't lose James, it's all going to be good info. Is this for Wednesday's 3:00-4:30 lab? If so, see you there. Bruce "James Wedding" wrote in message news:41869acd$1_1@newsprd01... > I've got one time in my Lab for one more Style discussion.

I wound up going with a Station Offset label based on a few other inputs. I think I'll ask for four hours next year, 90 minutes is just not enough to really get into styles like I would want to. -- James Wedding, P.E. IT Manager Jones & Boyd, Inc.

Just to further elaborate on your post: Alignments and their labels are detached to some extent. The Alignment Style doesn't control how the labels appear, the label does. In your case, you'll want to develop different alignment styles (We use road, sewer, ditch, etc.) then develop a myriad of different labels (Major-Client A; Major-Client B; Minor-Client A, etc.) then build those styles into label sets. A label set lets you pick out the styles for major components all at once, then save them together. Then you simply import the label set to the alignment, and it's all done. Hope that makes sense, and see you in a month. I look forward to meeting you. -- James Wedding, P.E. IT Manager Jones & Boyd, Inc.
