Shared Views Label Glitch

[jamesmac1201]

See Screencast. After I created a shared view and viewed online, the alignment/surface label is displaying incorrectly. The pdf displays the label correctly, however, the online viewer is showing the elevation component of the label wrong. Important note: the elevation shown is using a custom surface expression that truncates the elevation. If you read the long code, you see text in the code that states "Short Elevation".

Since the station, offset and offset side is read correctly, I'm thinking that custom elevation has an issue.

Any thoughts?

Hi @jamesmac1201 , 

Thank you for bringing this up in the Autodesk Forums! Something definitely doesn't look right in those two pictures you attached. Would you mind posting the shared view link and the dwg file? Zipping up the file is best!

Here you go sir.

Hi @jamesmac1201 , 

I checked your file and your custom expression FACE is missing from the label styles. This is a known issue when opening in Civil 3D 2019.3 and 2020.0. If anyone opens up the file in one of those versions it will corrupt label style expressions. First things first, update your installation of Civil 3D to 2019.3.1 or 2020.1. Then rebuild the expression in that file. Then publish again to the Shared Views. Send that file along to me as well after publishing so that I can check it.

Sorry for the late reply. Deadlines you know. Here is the updated Shared View link: https://autode.sk/2BNShyn

I currently use 2018, but I like the Shared View option in 2019 and wanted to utilize its capabilities. That's dis-concerning about the expression glitch. Our company will be switching over to 2020 by the end of the year.

Good Morning @jamesmac1201 ,

Everything looks good now. Thank you for putting that up this morning. Yes, it is a known issue with Civil 3D 2019.3 and Civil 3D 2020.0.  Civil 3D 2019.3.1 and 2020.1 correct this issue. As you transition to Civil 3D 2020 make sure you update to 2020.1 or newer.

Thanks again for your assistance. On a quick side note, I never created that "FACE" expression. Not sure how that came about. Again keep up the great work.
