Introduction

Note: This is now considered a legacy command.  The command Network Labels has been developed to replace this command with enhanced controls over text sizes, content details, text offsets and positions.

This command is used to add labels on a defined Pipe Network in model space.  The user can select what information is displayed.

Note:  This command will only work on a defined Pipe Network.


 

Details

Upon selecting this command, the designer must select a network to sequence.  This can be achieved by either selecting the network in the drawing or from a list.  Click here for more details on selecting a network.

After selecting a network the following form is displayed:


 

At Pits Define the items to be plotted at pits.  Both the upstream and downstream end of the pipe will be labelled.  The Invert is plotted above the pipe and the Obvert is below.  The Layer/Text Settings is described below.
  Plot Obverts Check to label the pipe obverts.
  Plot Inverts Check to label the pipe inverts.
Along Pipes Define the items to be plotted along pipes.
  Above Define the items to be plotted above the pipes.  The order is Diameter, Class and Slope.  The Layer/Text Settings is described below.
    Plot Diameter Check to label the pipe diameter.
    Plot Slope 1: Check to add the Slope of the pipe.
    Plot Class Check to add the Class of the pipe.
  Below Define the items to be plotted below the pipes.  The order is Length, Flow and Grade.  The Layer/Text Settings are described below.
    Plot Length Check to label the pipe length.
