Product Documentation
Intermediate

You can create a label style for labeling hydraulic properties, such as HGL and EGL, in pipe networks.

Use the Label Style Composer to create a label style that lets you add labels that display values for hydraulic properties, such as hydraulic grade line and energy grade line in pipe networks.

Once the label style is created, you can select that label style on the following tabs of the Pipe Network Properties dialog box: Layout Settings tab, Profile tab, Section tab.

To create a label style for pipe network hydraulic properties

  1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the Pipe collection, then expand the Label Styles collection.
  2. In the Label Styles collection, expand a collection. For example, expand the Plan Profile collection , and then right-click on an existing label style. For example, right-click on Standard, and then click New or Edit.
  3. On the Label Style Composer, click the Layout tab.
  4. Under the Text collection, click the Browse button in the Value cell next to the Add Contents property.
  5. Use the Text Component Editor to add the desired hydraulic properties to the label style. For example, on this dialog box, under Properties, click the drop-down arrow to display the list of properties you can add to the label. Select the desired hydraulic properties from this list. For example, click Hydraulic Grade Line Up, and then click the right-arrow button to add the property to the label style.
  6. When finished composing label text using this dialog box, click OK to save changes.
  7. Click OK on the Label Style Composer dialog box to save changes to the label style.
