Sag Curve Label

[rwatson654]

How can I edit the Sag Curve label so sag curves are labeled below the profile?  The Start, and and Dimension Lines components are grayed out so I can't modify the angle. I searched this group but only found that someone had solved this,  but no solution posted.

If it is setup as a child to a parent style, the parent style will override. Setup a different parent style with the curves labeled below the profile, then setup a sag curve style under that as a child. For Sag Curves, you should be able to set this new style as your default.

Thanks for the reply.  I'm missing something here.  I don't see where/how to setup the curve labels below the profile.  The original was not setup as a parent/child.  The attached image shows my style setup, and what I get vs what I want.

I wish to apologize. When we started with Civil 3D 2008, we were able to do upper and lower curve call outs. As we progressed through to 2011, we dropped the 'under' label and just stuck with the 'over' label. It never dawned on me that the label creator has now made it seemingly impossible to get the label 'under'. Here's an old sample:

And a new sample:

We use 'Child' styles to swing the high-point/ low point label above and below. The nice thing about child styles, if you change a parameter in the parent, the child follows the same change unless it is set to override the parent. I only assumed that was the issue.

Again, pardons. I tried for 30 minutes to find a setting that would allow me to swing the start line and end line underneath the PVI, and failed miserably.

No worries.  Actually made me feel better I'm not the only one unable to get this to work, although I would really like to find a solution.  If I do I'll post back here.

I think you might be over thinking it?

I can move my label from above to below by changing the anchor point.

I agree with Bruce; it looks like your style should work but I'll wager that you're Anchor dimension point isn't set correctly.

I tried that setting. Civil3D 2011. Still doesn't allow me to pull the dimension below the PVI.

I had to remove and re-add the sag cuve to get it to work, but it did.

Wish I had been over thinking it, was just looking in the wrong place.  Thanks for the help.
