I am astonished to read your reponse, you and everyone else at Autodesk keep telling people that Civil 3D is a different beast. I just recently purchased Civil 3D 2015 after spending almost $7500. I am very annoyed to know that Autodesk took few commands out which most of surveyors used very frequently, to name a few following is the list:
1. Dynamic and Static labeling of a line and curve with availibility of toolbar(Icons)
2. Label offset from building corner to the property line.
3. Drawing a Building foot-print by providing distances right or left.
4. What happened to civil toolbars where you could put several frequent commands.
Now, let me ask you why autodesk is not making these lisp routines avaiable to the customers? You can put any beast out ther as long it addreses the concerns of surveyor or engineer.

Howdy,
This answer was most helpful. I am getting the proper dialogue displayed, although I now am encountering the issue of text size being too small. Any ideas on how to make or change the text size?
C3D is style driven, and everything in C3D - labels, structure, pipes, text - has a style. To alter a current entity in your drawing, right-click it, and choose "edit label style". That will open a dialogue box in which you can alter every component of your label.
To get to the line labeling routine, go to your annotation tab, click the down arrow in the "add labels" box, and go to "lines and curves" near the bottom. In the resulting dialogue box, choose the style you want to edit by making it show in either the line label or curve label box, and click the blue box next to it. That will also open up the editing dialogue box.
This is 8 years old post and solved. You just wasted your precious time.
