You can add labels to pipe network parts either when you create the objects or after you create them.
Use the Create Pipe Network dialog box to specify label styles for pipes and structures in plan view. Use the Pipe Network Properties dialog box to change plan view label styles, or to specify label styles for profile and section views. If you select a label style of <none>, labels are not added.
Use the Add Pipe Network Labels option to access the Add Labels Dialog Box if you need to create or modify a style before labeling a pipe network.
Pipe network label types you can add after creation include entire network, single part, and spanning labels.
If desired, you can add a Material type to a pipe or structure label, as long as the Material property has been added to the part family that the pipe or structure part belongs to. See Adding a Material Property to a Part for more information. You can also label hydraulic properties in pipe networks. See Labeling Hydraulic Properties in Pipe Networks for more information.
You can use the following commands to add labels to pipe network parts.
For more information, see Understanding Labels in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Topics in this section
- Labeling Multiple Pipes and Structures in Plan Views
You can label pipe and structures in plan views with Pipe label styles.
- Labeling Multiple Pipes and Structures in Profile Views
You can label pipe and structures in profile views with Pipe label styles.
- Labeling Multiple Pipes and Structures in Section Views
You can label pipes and structures in section views with Pipe label styles.
- Labeling Individual Pipes and Structures in Plan Views
You can label individual parts in plan views with Pipe label styles.
- Labeling Individual Pipes and Structures in Profile Views
You can label individual parts in profile view with Pipe label styles.
- Labeling Individual Pipes and Structures in Section Views
You can label individual parts in section view with Pipe label styles.
- Labeling a Span of Connected Pipes
In plan or profile views, you can label a series of consecutively connected pipes with a single pipe label.
- Editing Spanning Labels with Grips
Spanning labels are not anchored to any particular pipe or structure. You can move them freely to any connected pipe or structure in the span.
- Deleting Pipes Labeled with Spanning Labels
Deleting an individual pipe from a span labeled with a spanning label has various affects depending on where the label is located in relation to the deleted pipe.
- Resetting the Anchor Pipe on Spanning Labels
You can reset the anchor position of label that spans multiple parts in a pipe network.
- Adding a Material Type to a Pipe or Structure Label
You can add a material type, such as ductile iron or corrugated steel, to display in a pipe or structure label.
- Labeling Hydraulic Properties in Pipe Networks
You can create a label style for labeling hydraulic properties, such as HGL and EGL, in pipe networks.
