Problem editing segment tag labels

Hello everyone. It is known that tag labels are shown like the example below.

The thing is that I need to label the segment vertices, like the picture attached below.

Is it possible to do that?

Yes, edit the style for the parcel segment label and edit the anchor location for the Table Tag component to be at the Start of the segment.

I get it, but the segment lable would still be a single number like "1" or "2". I need its name to be something like "segment 1-2". Is it possible? I need to be displayed like that in the table.

I don't think that's possible.  There isn't a property for that.

 

My first thought was to use an expression to add 1 to the current segment number to get to the next segment number. It works fine until you get to the last segment and it read 5-6 rather than 5-1.

Mark, it worked. But now, I don't know how to get rid of the first column, it seems that it is unable to erase it.

Do you know how to do that? To identify the segments, I just need the last column.

Column 1 can't be deleted.

 

Edit the contents of column one to be the same as column 4 and then delete column 4

So, there is a way to edit column one? The items are in grey, when I click on them, nothing happens. This is not the case of the other columns, I can easily edit them when I click on them.

Column one is editable if its a Line table or a Curve table.   If its a combined 'Segment' table then its not editable.

Hello Mark. Civil 3d allows me to edit column 1, but nothing happens when I edit it. I attached a videoclip to show what is happening.

Maybe there's no other way than turning that table into an autocad table.

Ok, it appears you can't really edit the contents of column 1, even though it looks like you can.  Whatever is entered in the column is ignored. (even if you delete the contents completely)   .....  Its content is tied to the Tag Table contnent in the segment's label style.

 

Here's what I was able to do.  Edit the label style for the Tag Table component on the segment label style to include "Line" as part of its contents.  This fixes the table issue but now adds "Line" to the plan labels.  To get around that you can set the visibility of the Tag Table component to "False", make a new Text component to show the property of Label Tag Number and set it to be used in Tag Mode.  You'll find these visibility and mode settings in the in the General section of the segment label style composer.   In the end you'll have one Tag label content that gets sent to the table and another than goes to the plan.
