This command draws a small table of curve data. Unlike the
command Label Arc, instead of fitting the text on the arc,
this command lines the data up in rows. The command prompts to
select an arc, define the arc by three points, or type O for Option
to display the dialog shown here. For each type of arc value, you
can specify the label and the sequence number. Under Label Options,
the Stack Label Arc data table will display the values in the order
by sequence number. There are also settings to justify label left
or right.
Under Label Options, the data table will
display the values in order based upon sequence number. For each of
the arc properties, you can set the Label prefix, Row
and Order. For multiple labels on the same row, the Order
controls the label sequence for that row. The Header field is just
the specified label and doesn't have an arc value. To display the
special C/L label, enter \U+2104 in the label.
Chord Angle Mode allows you to set how the chord and radial
angles are labeled as azimuth, bearing or gon.
Curve Angle Mode allows you to set how the delta angle and
degree of curve are labeled as degree/minute/second or gon.
The Type of Curve option determines the type of curve.
Roadway: The length is determined as the true length
of the curve.
Railroad: The length is adjusted based on 100-foot chord
segments.
Justify sets the alignment for the text
as left, center or right.
Flip Labels controls whether the text is drawn upside down in
the current twist screen view.
The Use symbol for Delta Angle option uses a delta triangle
symbol for the prefix.
Draw Leader Horizontal Tick draws a short horizontal line at
the label end of the leader.
Align Text With Chord sets the angle of the text to match the
chord angle. Otherwise, the text is draw horizontal to the current
twist screen.
General Settings shows
Annotation Defaults which has settings such as Text Size Scaler
which apply to this routine.
Reset To Defaults puts the
settings back to built-in defaults.
Load and Save functions store and recall the
settings to an .ANS file. This is a way to share a label style with
others or manage different styles.
Options/Points/<Select arc>: P The P option
causes the command to prompt for points on the arc. This can be
useful for labeling sub-arcs such as lot corners of a
cul-de-sac.
