changing the way station offset (fixed point) appears

[jonyreb]

is there a way in 2011 civil 3d to make all of the station offsets (fixed point) to read in the same direction. as you go around an alignment, the sta offset lables will reverse in respect to the direction of the alignment. can this be fixed so that all labels regardless of the direction of the alignment read the same? i.e. all facing right.

I don't think I follow your explanation. Could you elaborate or provide a picture?

Perhaps the OP will find what they're after in Toolspace, Settings Tab, Alignments node, Commands node, Right Click AddAlignOffXYLbl , and select Edit Command Settings...

yes change the Orientation Reference for the label style

[jonyreb]

on a straight line alignment, the sta offset text will read from left to right. if the alignment angle changes, the sta offset text will read right to left until the alignment changes. if the alignment changes back then the text will once again read from left to right. we have a client that insist that all sta offset text read in the same direction regardless of the alignment direction. we have tried changing the orientation, the view, but nothing seems to work. it will read all the same direction, ie left to right until it hits a change in the alignment direction. then it reverses back to right to left. wont do. is there a way to override this.
