Label Style Composer - Rotation Angle

Hi,

 

In Label Style Composer (Parcel) AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018, when we want to change an angle rotation does not appear the green icon to specify angle in the drawing as it had in previous versions? Why? and how can we solve this?

Looks like I figured out the problem. When we create an expression, the green angle rotation icon disappears. ****!!!

Autodesk Team Help Please!

It does this in previous versions as well.

but the ideal would be to be able to rotate the text that is in the centroid of the parcel. I do not understand how you can not do that. It seems ridiculous

If you have Anchor Component to <Feature>, your anchor Point to Label Location and your attachment to Middle Center you are there. Then you can snap the area label by node and pick your rotation point.

Jeff, My settings are the way you said it but the only way to rotate is by changing the Rotation Angle. Now imagine irregular lots with different angles. it is not feasible to create dozens of styles

@jfeijo, I have the label for my lots as a non-plotting, small text, number only, label. I then ADD Parcel area labels by window, these labels can be rotated in any direction you like.

On our Parcel Area Styles we set the Orientation Reference to "View" and not worry about rotating each area label. They may not be rotated with each parcel, but it is consistent.  

 

Also, on large subdivisions we get all the parcels in and then have them in their own drawing  with area labels in a not plot style. We then xref this drawing into our main drawing for labeling. Like Jeff_M, we use the ADD parcel area labels and we can rotate if need be.

Thanks for the tip!  I've been cussing for a few hours now trying to get my Label Styles to ROTATE....
