Alignment Curve Data Label Side

Anonymous
Not applicable

I need a curve label component for the side a curve is on (left or right.)

 

I am using the alignment Label: Multiple point of Intersection.

 

The text of the label looks like the below, I need what is in red.

 

Delta = 5d37'33" Rt

 

Thanks,

John

Don't see "Station Offset Side" as an available property within the Multiple Point of Intersection labels but as a workaround, copy/pasting "Station Offset Side" from a "Station Offset" label style does what you're after.

 

Copy & paste this text into the label style composer contents dialog.

<[Station Offset Side(CP)]>

Great idea however it is giving me the opposite direction that I need. The side listed need to be the side ther curve is on as you travel along the alignment.

Can you post a graphic that shows curves going in both directions, with the desired LT / RT label format?

See attached. The white Rt/Lt are what is reversed and used from the pasted component offset side.

I have done this using the label for the PI.

 

Make two labels one labeled Rt and one Labeled Lt.  You can force feed the Rt or Lt in the labels.  Not too difficult to see which way the curve is going and use the left or right label.

Try adding a Reference Text component to the label for an Alignment.  This component can label the offset side from the alignment. In this case it would be which side of the alignment the PI is located. Set the reference alignment for these alignment labels to be the same alignment.

 

Yes I know this seems weird to add an alignment reference text component to an alignment label, but you can, and you get some additional information available from it.
