Adding text fields in point style content

Anonymous — Fri, 11 Nov 2016 17:33:36 GMT

I´ve made a custom point file with format PNEZDNN adding two user-defined columns of number values, and i want the point label in the drawing to show those 2 extra values. when i try to edit the point label content it only shows all the preset named columns like northing easting, raw description, full description. etc. but it doesnt show me the user-defined columns i want to add. is there a expression for this? or is it something civil 3d cannot do?

You'll need to create expressions for your new components. And then add each expression to your label style.

Adding columns to the input file format is one step, but you also have to create User Defined Properties for the point data to be imported into. Those Properties are what the label style is looking for.

Not sure what I was thinking when I originally responded, must have been one of those bad day's or I was asleep at the wheel.
