Sub - title:
Deflection angle as criteria to label named angle
Body:
Hi everyone, I'd count on any help. I need to sort the deflection angles in my polylines in a specified criteria, and use this 'category' to label my alignment horizontal breaks. Whereas there isn't a 'deflection angle' label option without curving the alignment, I'm using a support polyline in a non-plottable layer with a small radius fillet just to get the angle label without screwing up the station labels of the alignment.
What I need is something like that:
LABEL:
Station X.y, stuff
-------------------------------- Name of the deflection angle
Deflecion Angle x°,y'
This would be a sum of the alignment label with the polyline label, staying together because of their similar leader lines. I'm already succeeding the deflection angle and the alignment station part, but the Name of the deflection angle I don't have idea how to do it. I improvised a LISP to do it as annotation&drafting blocks... it's toilsome and painful to do it, since i have to copy, explode and prepare the labels to use the lisp, and when I use plan production sheets, it gets all mixed up because of the orientation of the labels (view).
The criteria is something like that, to define the Name of the deflection angles
TYPE 1 - Exact angles
Angle Name
22°30' C22
45° C45
67°30' C45+C22
90° C90
112°30' C90+C22
135° C90+C45
TYPE 2 - Other angles (decimal)
Angle range Name Excludes
0 to 11.25 D1
11.25 to 33.75 D2 22.50 (referred as 22°30' last table)
33.75 to 56.75 D3 45
56.25 to 78.75 D4 67.50 (referred as 67°30' last table)
78.75 to 90 D5 90
90 to 112.5 C90+D1 90
112.5 to 135 C90+D2 135
I think this is a little complicated, is there something I can study to get to that? Thanks already.

I mean, these expressions... they're any intuitive? Where can I find the base, or the syntax, or tutorial so I can study it and build them? Is there any free stuff to read and learn?
Pretty interesting the text height solution, that'll be useful, I guess
You can also read HERE and THIS post where the solution supposedly resides. I remembered this had been discussed before. So I did a search of the group and found that.

troma, that a expression with IF to control height of the text was an amazingly well thought solution for my case. And thanks AllenJessup for finding the post where I could find the expressions I needed.
