Profile Labels and Label Styles

Profile labels

When you create a layout profile, you can automatically label it using label styles you specify in the Create Profile - Draw New dialog box. For other types of profiles, add labels using the Edit Labels command.

Profile label styles can be configured to mark any of the following standard points along the profile:

• Major and minor stations of the parent horizontal alignment
• Horizontal geometry points
• Grade breaks
• Lines
• Sag curves
• Crest curves

You can save profile label styles as a profile label set and apply the labels to a profile as a group.

Profile view labels

After creating a profile view, use the Add Labels dialog box to manually add labels to particular points of interest anywhere on the profile view grid. These labels can be of three types:

• Station Elevation, showing the station and elevation of a point.
• Depth, showing the elevation difference between two points, and other data such as slope and distance.
• Projection, showing the station and elevation of a projected object .

Profile view bands

Place data bands along the top or bottom of a profile view grid to annotate the various profile lines with station and elevation data, vertical or horizontal geometry points, or superelevation, sectional, or pipe network data. You can also group a set of commonly used data bands into a band set that can be applied to a profile view as a single selection.

The topics in this section describe unique properties of profile labels. For a general overview of labels, see Understanding Labels in Autodesk Civil 3D.
