Override individual labels with other styles. In spite of the desire to have uniform labeling styles and appearances between alignments within a single drawing, project, or firm, there are always exceptions. Using AutoCAD’s Ctrl+click method for element selection, you can access commands that let you modify your labels and even change their styles.
Master It Open a new drawing based on the template of your choice. Create a copy of the Perpendicular With Tick Major Station style called Major With Marker. Change Tick Block Name to Marker Pnt. Replace some (but not all) of your major station labels with this new style.
Create a new label set for alignments. Label sets let you determine the appearance of an alignment’s labels and quickly standardize that appearance across all objects of the same nature. By creating sets that reflect their intended use, you can make it easy for a designer to quickly label alignments according to specifications with little understanding of the requirement.
Master It Within the Mastering Alignment Styles.dwg file, create a new label set containing only major station labels, and apply it to all the alignments in that drawing.
Apply a standard label set to profiles. Standardization of appearance is one of the major benefits of using Civil 3D styles in labeling. By applying label sets, you can quickly create plot-ready profile views that have the required information for review.
Master It In the Mastering Profile Styles.dwg file, apply the Road Profiles label set to all layout profiles.
