labeling cross section

[Anonymous]

what is the proper way to label the station, proposed and existing elevations, in stacked format in a cross section? The only way I know how to do it is to rename all the sample lines to their station name and then use the sample line name in the label of the section. there's got to be a better way.

also, does civil 3D cut cross section sheets? i noticed it does p&p's.

When creating the sample line, change the name by clicking the pencil button on the tool bar and then inserting the raw station. I've enclosed a picture that may help. The sample lines will then be named according to station. Message was edited by: swatfor

You need to create a data band for the proposed and existing elevations. You can customize them to go almost anywhere on the section.

is there a way to make them show as "20+00" format, instead of "2000.000" format? that's all i can get, with all three station formats under the create sample lines toolbar.

Copy and paste the line below as the name, it should give the + format. If the units or another format isn't what you want just go to an alignment label and insert the raw format into the label with the formatting you want then copy the items in between the ( ) and replace it in the label.

I took this from 2008, I'm not sure if it changed between 07 and 08. Message was edited by: ChristopherF

It would not work to create data bands, because they are for labeling the cross section view, not the section itself. hence, they would always have to be at the same position in reference to the section view, and would come in at a different location in every cross section, depending on the features of that section.

There has to be a way to label the cross sections without having to drag every separate one, but I still haven't figured it out.
