guys, I imported a road centerline shapefile from ArcGIS into Autodesk Land
Desktop 2004 and want to label the road names with the labels aligned with the
roads. I created object data when I imported the shapefile and was able to
include the attribute table with the road names. In Autodesk Map, I created
and defined the settings for the road labels in the Define Annotation Template
from the Annotation toolbar and set the justification 'Left' when editing the
annotation text template. When I go to 'Insert Annotation' and select the
roads I would like to label, the names always come out horizontal and I have
to move and rotate the labels to fit with the direction of the roads. Is there
a way to label the roads so they can come out aligned with the road. I tried
to set the justification to 'Fit' and 'Align' instead of Left only to have
little or no luck. Also, how do I turn off the Single Document Mode (SDI) in
Land Desktop 2004 so I can perform these same operations without having to
open up Autodesk Map? Everytime I try to create a new annotation template, I
get a reading that the annotation editor template can not be invoked in Single
Document mode. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michael
Mark
