Minor stationing label biased in Dview Twist

Good Morning!

 

I don't use stationing or alignment tools in Civil 3D very often. I have a project where I need to do a plan and profile. The plan view I have had to use the Dview>Twist at a 45 degree angle in the viewport. My minor stationing labels are showing up in the viewport upside down. I have gone in and changed the bias in the label style, some labels changed, but others did not. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Try selecting an Alignment label > Right click > Edit Alignment Labels > Edit the Minor Station Style being used here > General Tab of Label Style Composer > Plan Readability > Plan Readable "True" > Readability Bias 110 deg.

Kim,

 

I've seen that behavior with a UCS. I've had to "flip it over" to get the labels "un-backward". Is your ViewCube upside-down?

 

Try Dview >> Twist >> (Minus)45, or (Minus)225. See what that does.

Thanks Jay. I changed the bias to 90 degrees.

Dave,
I used the -45 degrees in my twist. I did figure out that the label isn't really upside down. It's more a issue of the angle of my alignment in that area. (I'm being too **** about it.) You can read both major and minor labels from the bottom (south) up (north). I figured this out by twisting my view your suggested 225 degrees and that did flip everything upside down. So I knew that I had them in the correct position.
Thank you for the suggestion, it helped me solve the issue!
