combine two line labels into one.

Hello I have created a site with my parcel labels with dimensions as shown in this picture.

cnavarroJTY8F_0-1627409998816.png

I would like to be able to combine the two dimensions, which are line labels, into one. like this picture.

Right now I have to delete the labels that were automatically created by my parcel segments and then annotate line and curves, and choose line between two points.

 

is there a way I can just click the two labels 35.33' and 9.67' and have them automatically add together. Just a thought. trying to make the time consuming tasks a bit faster.

Are they Text objects [or maybe Mtext, though there's no reason for them to be], or Dimensions with their dimension and extension lines suppressed?  If they're Text, what is their justification?

It's probably a C3D object, isn't it?

HERE are forums dedicated to C3D...

They are annotative line labels. This is the text component of the label style.

That's beyond my experience, but if no one who knows more about them jumps in, and if you post a [small] .DWG file with a few in it, maybe it won't be hard to figure something out.

Here is a drawing with some parcels, with labels and some examples. I used to work for a company that had a custom command for this but obviously I couldn't take any of the commands when I left.

We use C3D but rarely deal with parcels.

The problem is that whatever created the parcel boundary, it created a 5-sided figure.

I checked the bearings to see if there was a deflection in the boundary between the 25.42' and the 19.58' and there is no deflection.

Even the BOUNDARY command will create a 5-side figure.

My suggestion is to grip each parcel boundary and then remove the extra vertex before you do your labeling.  Sadly, when you remove a vertex, C3D should automatically correct the boundary labels, but it doesn't in my C3D 2020.

Of course you had better check to see if there really is a deflection before you remove a vertex.

Also, sadly, there appears to be no AutoLisp access to the parcel segment label value.  @Jeff_M (Jeff Mishler), a master in the C3D forum, may be able to provide you a better answer.

I am still trying to complete my degree in CIV3D styles some ten years later, it can be just so hard, I would suggest you can add a style that would be brg distance as 1 entry. Like John ask over at the CIV3D forum, I will have  a look at what I have also. I have not done any parcels so can not help much.
