Structure Label Style, Connected Pipe Direction relative to the Alignment

[Anonymous]

Could we have the option to insert the connected pipe direction in a format other than N/E/S/W? The Florida DOT requires that we label connected pipe direction relative to the alignment, in the format of AH/BK/LT/RT. An example label would be:

S-1

Const. DBI Type D

Gr. El. 45.00

FL 42.00 (Bk.)

FL 41.50 (Rt., Lt.)

FL 41.00 (Ah.)

I would love to see us get more control over the Connected Pipe Direction in multiple ways, including this idea.  Let me choose between seeing only the 4 cardinal directions (N, S, E, W), 8 directions (NE, SE, SW, NW), 16 directions (NNE, NNW, etc.), Bearing (N 30 E, S 10 W), or even Azimuth Angle (Az 300, Az 10). Conventions and requirements are different everywhere we work, so allow us to customize as necessary.

This idea would be the next level of customization where you bring an alignment reference into the mix.  I can see issues already on what to do when the structure is on the inside or outside of a 90-degree bend in the alignment, but those would be issues that get solved while developing this idea.

I also love the fact that you combined your Right and Left Inverts.  I believe that's another idea on here somewhere.
