Hello,
I'd like to annotate the manholes according to this example:
The first 2 lines are possible to do,
The last 2 lines I'd like to have the levels of the connecting conduits and the feature name it is connected to. In that case it is clear to seen in top view what the several elevations are.
The text favorite looks like this:
Gunther,
The mechanism here is going to depend on the version of the software you are using. If you are in one of the 10.10 products, you will be looking for the Manhole Element Manager content under Drainage & Utilities > Drainage. In there will be Connecting Link conduit Invert elevations and an Outgoing Invert. Just a note, unfortunately this will not work if the Drainage Options are set to use US Survey Foot.
As an interim solution until that gets remedied, if you are only needing the label in the plan view you might be able to generate a Civil Labeler label that takes three inputs, the node for the top two lines, and then an incoming and outgoing conduit. I haven't yet developed labels that leverage different D&U targets, but the theory should hold that this would work.
I hope that helps.

Hello Steven,
This option works almost as expected: (Even in a metric setting)
Is it possible to only give a result if the value exists? Otherwise there are a lot of zero values.
Yes - please create a SR for this issue. I have looked into recently, and I can't find a neat way to do this at the moment. What I think we need is to be able to create a text favorite with a conditional statement, so that it can test whether a value is valid before it tries to annotate it.
I have reported and it will be adjusted in a next version.
Sorry to revive an old thread. Has the ability to create conditional labels been implemented? I would like to create node labels like Gunther but am not seeing a way to filter out the connections that do not exist.
I haven't tested it, but it should be fixed in the new release (2022 release 1).
I'm with you. We need conditional labels for other things as well. We are keeping some of our Survey settings to use VBA labels instead of "regular" labels because we can code our own conditions. But these labels only work with Survey and only fire off when specific actions occur in the survey file. You cannot attach them to a button and simply click on an object to label.
