The quick, consistent, and adaptive production of Labels for complex Feature Line grading objects in Autodesk Civil 3D is no simple task. We can choose to execute our site grading designs and/or roadway designs with Feature Lines, Corridors, or with hybrid combinations of the two. The production, the arrangement, and the quality control of our deliverable Label annotation can be man-hour intensive and tedious.

For most of us in Civil 3D Land, the hope for better results might be the reason we employ Civil 3D in the first place. Better automated Labels might be called be the Holy Grail for production work in Civil 3D. It is certainly central to our project execution, the bottom line, and our sanity. We should fix that.

Civil 3D Segment Label Style Expression Set

This week we released more powerful and detailed updates for the Segment Label Style Expression Set AddOns.

The new much enhanced Segment Label Style Expression Set capabilities include customer requested support for Line segment labels, Curve segment labels, adjustable Height of Curb, and Height of Wall Label Style collections.
All collections now include innovative fully customizable and selectable Label code support.  
All the Expression Set Label Style collections feature built in adjustable Offset and Elevation Truncation.
Hundreds of new resource drawings and thousands of Label Styles are included.

Register and visit the Members section to see all the Segment Label Style Expression Set details and help.

The Framework for Civil 3D Segment Label Style Expression Set AddOns support the latest Update builds of Civil 3D 2022, Civil 3D 2021, and Civil 3D 2020.

The Segment Label Style Expression Set AddOn is a complete replacement of the previously released version.

Segment Label Style Expression Set Resources

  • None of the new resources overwrite or replace any previously supplied resources
  • Parent and Child Label Style resources for Current Layer Segment node elevations
    Segment Labels are typically produced on one Layer and then moved to another Layer for publication
  • Parent and Child Label Style resources for In-line, Stacked with line, and Stacked Label Style formats with and without visible Markers
  • Child Label Styles collections for each supplied Parent Label Style employ
    the 8 standard forms of rotation

  • Support for Object and View Orientation Labels
  • Support for invisible and visible Label Markers

  • The supplied Label Style Truncation default resolves to actual elevations for ease of use
  • Support for Segment node elevation display in tenths and standard hundredths precision with or without truncation
  • Supplied Parent and Child Label Styles honor Civil 3D Feature and Label Style Type Label Style Defaults, Civil 3D hierarchy rules, and Parent Child component inheritance
  • Separate stand-alone +ALWAYS IMPORT Expression Set Truncation and Height of Curb, and Height of Wall Style resource drawings to more easily allow the construction of customized Label Style resource drawings
