Reference Text in Structure Labels

[Anonymous]

I am labeling structures and need to use the station & offset for the street alignment not the alignment for the pipe network. It works great for the station but the offset is not working properly. It reads 0 as though it's reading the alignment for the pipe network. I've tried copying a label and adding reference text, creating a new label from scratch, putting 2 pieces of reference text in (1 for the station & 1 for the offset), and just doing the offset in the reference text instead of the station & offset...none of those have worked. I'm stumped! Any ideas what's going wrong?

Thanks,

Oh...just incase it's not clear, I'm using a structure lable in my profile view because I need to call out the elevation information too.

Don't use reference text component. Try just using text component with station and offset labels and under the structure properties set the reference alignment that you want to use.

have you told the label which alignment it's referencing after placeing the label?

That worked perfectly. I pulled out the ref text and just changed in the properties which alignment and it worked great! Thanks so much!

Dan - I had specified the alignment and the station was reading great, just not the offset. But when I tried what Steve recommended it worked just fine. Thanks so much!
