    Question Pipe Label in Profile View

    Hello,
    Ok, I have created a label to show the following:
    FL (Rt.)=1291.91
    FL (Lt.)= 1291.96

    This labels both ends of a cross road pipe. in the Profile.

    The fist problem is that the label comes in aligned with the slope of the pipe, which when in the profile and only being shown as a crossing is a pretty good angle (Approx. 45 degrees)
    The second problem is that I can use the drag mode and drag the label away form the actual pipe enough that is stacks the label and is horizontal text. The problem is that the leader from the label points to the center of the pipe. Can it be changed to point at the flowline of the pipe?

    Hi KC,
    You can set the Orientation of the label to View to get them to come in horizontal. If you changed the Dragged state option from Stacked Text to As Composed, the text will not reorder itself. The problem with this option is you cannot justify the leader.
    As far as the leader attachment point, you might play with the Feature Attachment point but as far as I know, there isn't a way to control the attachment point besides the above.
