You can label components along an alignment by using specified label styles.
To place the label, specify the alignment and the component in the drawing, such as a line, curve, or spiral segment. Select either a single segment or intersection or label the whole alignment using the multiple options.
Labeling Chord-Based Curves in a Rail Alignment
Rail alignments may be measured using either the curve's true geometry or the chord length. If you use a General Curve label curve length, the value in the label always displays the true curve geometry length, and not the chord length. To label a curve's chord length, you must use an expression to determine the chord length.
