    Default Non-rotation of plan labels on a plan and profile sheet

    Problem:
    Creating Plan & profile sheets using referencing, I rotate the plan view port to coincide with the profile. Of course this makes all labels rotate causing text conflicts, however if I moved the labels around in the reference files, it fixes the text conflicts in the plan view of plan and profile, but cause text conflicts in the regular plan sheet. Suggestions? Is there a way to stop the automatic rotating?

    Thanks

    Hi Capt.
    If you go into your label settings, you can turn off label rotation in the General tab.

    Another option is to use different files for the different sheets. Data reference in your alignments, profiles, surfaces, etc. and then label away. It may not help on this particular project but may for future projects.

    We have been doing our labeling in the sheet (plan and profile) drawings as Brian described and it works well for us.

    Hi Jeff,
    Have you been using '08 yet? Been playing with the Plan Production tools? I have found that they don't play well with Data shortcuts after you create the sheets, but you can copy the data to the sheets in the creation process. You have to watch the Pipe Network label switch though, or you end up with duplicate labels from your Base file.

    Thanks Brian & Jeff

    I had suggested this to my boss and he was a little apprehensive, now I got some common opinions. I think I can convince him that what we need to do

    and Thanks Mark,
    I knew that i was not thinking.

    Mark,

    No I have not tried the plan production tools yet. We should be starting our first project on C3D 2008 in about a month or so and I plan on using this feature. I will heed your warnings.

    Thanks,

    I've battle the label overlaps as well. I generally set up odd and even page label layers and turn off the odd labels in the even sheet viewport and vice versa

    If you have to (or want to) use just one drawing for this you could set up a new style that puts the label text on a different layer and then viewport freeze the one you don't want to see inside each viewport. I'll do that if I have a weird break in plan view for a sanitary sewer outfall whereas I need to label the manhole twice, one for each plan view, and I don't want the tail end of the leader for the other label showing up in the viewport. Quick and dirty but it works.

    after i change my profile stationing part of the plan view is still grayed out
