I do not use pipes much at all. but for pressure networks I created a top of pipe elevation label. the part component available for labeling was the insertion point elevation, which is CL of the part, not the top. I had to go into the parts catalog and use on of the empty fields to add the distance from the insertion point elevation to the top of pipe for every available size. I then created an expression in the Toolspace label settings that used the insertion point elevation plus the value of the field I populated in the parts catalog. it works. yippee, but it would have been nice to have that out of the box.
You could do something similar, but have the expression include a depth measurement between the invert elevation and a profile1. Then (hopefully) when you chose profile1 as a data profile in the band set settings it would be able to compute it. I'm think it can probably be done, but I haven't yet tried it.
the deflection angle - this would have to be a pipe profile label? do the pipe labeling components available to you include the pipe slope? can you write an expression that would take the slopes of two selected pipes and compute the angle between them? Ideally you would add the label, pick pipe1, pick pipe2 and it would put the label at the intersection of the two pipes with a grip that would allow you to slide it out/away for readability.or maybe a profile view label that would require three pick points to define the angle and where the label is put.
again, it can probably be done with expressions, but you might need to hear from people more expert than me.
