    Spanning pipe lables in profile

    Is anyone else having problems with the spanning pipe labels in profile.  Sometimes it works fine and others not at all.  It will let me pick the two structures at each end and highlights the pipes, but then it will not let me pick the pipe to place the label on.

    I personally haven't seen any reports of this in the 2013 product... is this something that happens in one drawing or all drawings?

    I can't seem to reproduce. Do you have a screen shot of the issue you can post?

    When you use this command in Civil 3D, you can't even select pipes at all.  It just plain does not work.  One of my customers sent me their file and I could easily reproduce.  I may open a separate discussion item about this.  I would attach the file, but it belongs to my client.

    It's always worked for me.
    Not saying you haven't found a problem, but just that it could be something that is drawing-specific causing this issue.
