N90°00'00"E 0.0000' Dynamic Label

[ssigala]

I'm currently running AutoCad Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion 2008 SP2. Sometimes when I label a line with a direction & distance (dynamic label) the label reads "N90°00'00"E 0.0000' " when it obviously is not. I can rotate, move, stretch, etc... the line and it continues to label it the same. A couple of minutes later I'll do the same thing & now it labels the line correctly. Has anyone run into this inconsistency before? Any fixes/patches?

yea, I've ran into the same problem but I'm running Land Desktop 2007 with the Civil Companion and Raster Design, fully updated. I've been running into that issue for a few years now and I'm not sure about a fix other than try it again later.

A work around for this problem is to select the label command from the dropdown menu rather than the right click menu. You won't ever see it fixed.

I've noticed that I have this same problem if I try to label lines immediately after I do a save. To "reset" things I go to Points--> Point Settings, then click OK in that dialog box. (other dropdowns may have similar results) After I do that the right-click line label routine seems to work. Once all my lines have been labeled correctly I disassociate them so they won't change. Labels--> Disassociate Labels... "All". Others may disagree with doing this but I've been burned by the Dynamic labels before and I don't trust them.

Glad to hear of another workaround. I just label with disassociated labels so I don't need to go through the disassociation process
