This command sets the drawing format for sewer pipeline
and inlet/manhole annotations drawn for the sewer network. The
settings are entered in a dialog with tabs for Structure Labels, Pipe
Labels and General Settings.
Under Structure Labels, you can choose whether to label
the structure name, rim elevation, invert-in elevation or invert-out
elevation. There are settings for the prefix and suffix for each of
these labels. The invert elevations can be positioned either above the
structure or along the associated pipe direction. The Add Quadrant
option adds the bearing quadrant of the associated pipe direction to
the invert label prefix. The option to Use Structure Data Table will
put the labels is a block as shown below instead of regular text
entities. There are settings for the size of the block columes and the
block label justification.
Under Pipe Labels, you can
choose whether to label the pipe size, material, length or slope. For
each label, there are settings for the prefix and suffix and for
whether to put the label above or below the pipeline. The Pipe
Direction Label has two styles for flow direction arrows. The Draw Line
Type sets the method for drawing the pipelines as 2D polylines, 3D
polylines or parallel 2D polylines set apart with the width of the pipe.
Under General Settings, there
are controls for the layers, styles, decimal places, sizes and
linetypes. The linetype is only used when the pipe is draw as a 2D
polyline.
You are free to move the text anywhere desired for better appearance after it plots. The labelling will change automatically on the drawing if any of the sewer network information is edited or if the label settings are changed. This automatic redraw will put the labels back in their origrinal positions if you moved the labels with standard drafting edit tools. If the Move Sewer Label command is used, the labels will stay at their modified position even after the automatic redraw. The labelling and manhole itself will be removed from the screen by the command Remove Sewer Structure, along with connecting pipe sizes and invert elevations of the immediate upstream and downstream manholes. The command Draw Sewer Network--Plan View will also redraw and label the sewer network that is "set" and current, according to the annotation parameters of this command.
