Staggers data band labels for improved visibility.
Data band labels are objects that can be manipulated like other AutoCAD Civil 3D label objects. Use the label height staggering options to avoid label collisions in densely populated data bands. The staggering options are available through the Profile View Properties or the AutoCAD Properties palette.
You set the stagger label line height
The staggering options are available for the following label types
- Grade breaks (profile labels)
- Major/minor stations (profile labels)
- Horizontal geometry points (profile labels)
- Major/minor offsets (section labels)
- Grade breaks (section labels)
The following workflow describes how to stagger profile view labels, and the same concepts can be applied to setting up the section view labels.
- Right-click a data band label and select Profile View Properties.
- In the Profile View Properties dialog box, click the Bands tab. Specify the Stagger Labels setting as required.
- Specify the height of the stagger lines.
- Right-click a data band label and select Properties.
- In the AutoCAD Properties palette under Staggering, specify the stagger label settings as required.
