Sanitary Sewer Flow Direction Arrow

Will Civil 3D 2007 place an arrow on the sanitary sewer pipe in the direction of flow as a label or other?
I did not find any discussion on this and our municipality would like to see the arrow.
Thank you

The flow direction arrow is a component in the pipe label style.

Brian,
Thank you, that works out great.
One more question, on curved pipe alignments there is a straight line from the pipe beginning to end, is there a way to make that go away?
Thanks again

A picture is worth a thousand words. And a .dwg worth ten million.

Brian,
Thanks for asking, I apologize for not providing in the first place. I have attached a pdf of what is happening. Straight portions look good will the curved alignments provide a line from start to end. Thanks for the help.

Wow! Curved 8" sanitary sewer pipe. I don't think I've ever seen that. There's no way that would be allowed in this area. I haven't tried anything yet but, before I do, in the picture, is that the way you want them?

Brian,
I hope I did not mislead you but as you probably know the pipe is deflected rather than curved. We show it as curved in plan view along the street centerline. It makes for a bugger along serpentine streets when there are curves to tangents etc. and trying to get all the pipes accounted for in both plan & profile.

I figured that was the way it was done. We are allowed to do that for water lines (depending on which city you are in) in this area but I've never seen it allowed for sanitary. No curves, no deflections, no grade changes, etc. without a manhole.
