Section Corridor Label

[jamessmith1]

I am wanting to move an individual Section Corridor Point Label. While holding down the CTRL key and clicking one label I was able to drag it to a new location and the leader would show up and leave the other labels in their original location in 2019 AutoCAD Civil 3D and previous versions.

But in Civil 3D 2020 it seems to have a glitch that will not allow me to drag an individual label without it dragging the other labels in a mirroring type action.

I have tried this in other drawings and on other computers at the office in order to rule out a corrupt dwg.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Pictures #4 shows the outcome after releasing the mouse button while dragging the label as shown in picture #3.

Hi @jamessmith1 ,

Welcome and thank you for reaching out to the forum. In order to troubleshoot this further, I'll need

1. the drawing exhibiting the issue
2. a screencast or video of the issue

I tried with tutorial drawing (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2021\C3D\Help\Civil Tutorials\Drawings), I don't seem to be able to reproduce the issue you described. Perhaps I miss something, if you could provide the above, I can help look into this.

My apologies for the large dwg. file. When trying to drag the labels in the cross sections they will not move independently. These are MARKED points on the assemblies that use our DC CODE SET. We have tried different code sets and different label styles with no success. The labels are part of the Section Corridor Point Label Group.

We are using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2020.

Here is a "poor" video of the problem in action. It doesn't matter if we hold SHIFT while preforming the task or not. I also tried a different label style in the video.

Has there been anyone with this same issue or has a suggestion for me to try? It will not let me delete individual corridor (mark point) labels from the section views either.

Did anyone give you a solution to this problem ? I am having the exact same issue and not finding a solution.

 Thank you

I did not receive an answer. I am still having trouble with this. Sorry.

Thanks for letting me know, I will let you know if I figure anything out.

Hi @jamessmith1,

I tried it with your drawing and I can replicate the issue you mentioned. However, with a tutorial drawing, for example, Sections-Grade-Label.dwg located here C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2020\C3D\Help\Civil Tutorials\Drawings\, I am unable to replicate the issue. This leads me to believe that this is drawing-specific. 

I will need to dig deeper and see what's causing this issue in your drawing. I noticed there's a duplicate Corridor Points label in the section view. I'll troubleshoot further and update this post.

That would be awesome to get an answer. I have this same trouble in other drawings as well.

Hi @jamessmith1 , @dvacekBUEUC ,

Appreciate the patience. The dragged labels appear to be not working as the Corridor point code labels are duplicated in section views in Civil 3D. Labels are duplicated specifically when the corridor's baseline is not the alignment that the sample lines are cut along. This is caused by vertically overlapping subassembly shapes that has the same point codes which result in duplicate labels because there are two points occupying the same space as sections are cut.

To illustrate this issue, I went ahead and delete one of the 2 corridors in the drawing which was used as sources for your section views. They now work as expected.

To solve this: 

Adjust your workflow such that either:

• A single corridor replaces what were previously two corridors. This way the corridor baseline is the alignment that the sample lines are cut along.

or

• Sample each corridor separately along its own alignment.

Here's the drawing.

I opened your drawing and it seemed to fix the issue until I told the corridor to rebuild. At that point that started moving all together again.

The purpose of having 2 corridors was to use one with the road centerline and the other with the channel centerline.
