Civil Labeler placing text instead of values in cross section

Why is the labeler not showing a value and just text?

  • So I'm using the Civil Labeler (since none of the auto-labeling is working) it seems easiest for placing. Sometimes when I'm about to labeling pipe in profile I can just select pipe but the rest of time it says "not snappable" & I feel its because it knows I'm not selecting the correct entity (pipe in prof) or that something is wrong..  For example; the conduit catalog pulls material "Concrete" & I had it changed to custom "CONC": If it lost that lib connection would it not recognize it as a conduit? Are all these types of settings so sensitive to change, then pipe to be not recognized?  Since this is my first workspace/workset/dgnlib/styles I've been making a lot of customized changes on-the-fly & that's never good for any CAD prog..

    I need to get it to look like this by wed!!:

    How do I list inverts without using Manhole Element Manager?  Why does if feel like I'm the 1st/only one with label problems? Is Civil Labeler too new? What are you doing for work-around?

    Thx, I appreciate any help.

  • Larry/ Kelly:

    I would highly suggest that both of you take a look at the Drainage and Utilities Text Favorites Imperial.dgnlib stored by default at

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE 10.11\Configuration\Organization-Civil\_Civil Default Standards - Imperial\Dgnlib\Feature Definitions.

    You can use this file along with the Drainage and Utilities Features Annotations Imperial.dgnlib stored at the same location to see the pattern for the new(er) expressions. Bentley has actually made things much more simple in that there are fewer locations from which to pull information. 

    If all else fails, go and see what Bentley actually created! ;-)

  • Yes, that is exactly what I did.. except used their metric version.

    When i try to draw just a line & snap to pipes in profile it still says "not snappable" but when I move to mh in profile it works?  I can also snap to existing ground profile line & proposed...  If i can figure that out i feel these labels will return to normal.  Also, when i first open the first profile model all the labels are correct for a split second then jump back to expression.
