Label curve radius via label set

I have manually added labels to an alignment curve to show radius/distance - is this possible to do automatically via a Label Set?? If so, how do I do it

 

Thanks

Set your default label style to Distance over Radius or your equivalent. Go to Annotate > Labels & Tables > Add Labels > Alignment > Single Segment. Select the arc and that should add the Label you want.

That's how I did it - I wanted to know if this was possible to do in the same way that chainages and tangent points are added as part of the Label Set??

You would do that with Multiple Segments instead of Single Segment. But I can't figure out where to change the Label Style. My Default is set for Distance over Radius. But I keep getting Delta, Radius, Tangent and Length.

OK. If I use Multiple Segments from Line Curve instead of Alignment. It uses the Distance over Radius Style. I still don't see where to change it for the Alignment set.

Got it. You need to change the Feature drop down to Alignment instead of Line & Curve.

I've modified my style to only show the radies but the straights are still getting labelled (easy enough to Select Similar to delete them though)

You could just make a  _NoDisplay Line Label Style and remove all the components. Then all you'd get is the curves. Or is that what you've done?
