Direction Arrows for curves

Toolspace > Settings > General > Label Styles > Line

 

When I create a line label, one of the components available is “Direction Arrow”. This component is not available for “Curve” labels. I would really like to use C3D labels to indicate direction (I realize curves don't have a 'direction', but I don’t mind manually flipping and reversing the arrow). Is there any other label option in C3D that will draw a direction arrow for curves?

We use a block of an arrow within a label. We have an expression to make it point in the direction of the water flow; not sure if you're labelling flow or station.

This is what I can think of:  create an arrow block and add that block to your curve definition.  I haven't tested it but I doubt that the block will flip direction so you would likely need one for clock wise and one for counter.  If you want the arrow to be curved as shown you will need several blocks (concave clockwise, etc.) and curve label styles utilizing them.
