Hello guys,

I posted the question below at the Civil3d forum and got the tip from tcorey to post it here instead. He believes that I would need .net code to get what I'm wishing for. Has anybody done this before? Do you think it is doable?

Here's the link to the original post

Hi,

I recently discovered the possibilities of using expressions to pimp out labels. I would like to know, if there is a way to use the connecting pipe direction when creating structure labels. My goal is to align the connecting pipe invert labels to the pipe directions. This way it would be clear to which pipe the elevation is referring....

What I think I would have to do is use the "for each" object in the label composer and use the connecting pipe direction as the rotation angle. None of the properties listed as options in the label expression composer seem to be what I'm looking for.

Does anybody know if what I'm trying to achieve is possible? Thanks for ANY help! 😃

PS. I know the labels get their rotation from the corresponding pipe if they were pipe labels, but I would prefer to use structure labels in this case...
