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. Shown below is the
manhole or inlet name, along with rim elevation, invert elevation
and the labeling of the sewer pipe itself. When the network
entities are selected by the 3D Viewer Window command, they are
automatically converted into 3D entities.
Under Structure Labels, you can choose
whether to label the structure name, structure description,
northing, easting, rim elevation, depth, pipe station, CL station,
CL offset, inlet type, invert-in elevation, invert-out elevation,
structure ID, Inlet ID or custom offsets. The custom offsets label
elevations relative to either the structure rim elevation or invert
elevation with a specified offset. The list of available fields is
on the left and the list of fields to label is on the right. The
order of the fields in the right side list is the order of the
labels in the drawing. Use the Add, Remove and Up/Down arrow
buttons to move fields between the lists and change their order. To
edit the parameters for a field, highlight the field name on the
right list and pick Setup. You can set the label prefix and suffix
and whether to start a new row. If new row is off, then the field
will be put on the same row as the previous field in the list. The
pipe station is the accumulative length of the pipes from the
outfall up to the structure. The CL station and offset values are
calculated from the reference CL that is assigned to the structures
in the sewer network. The invert elevations can be positioned
either above the structure or along the associated pipe direction.
For Inverts, the Add Quadrant option adds the bearing quadrant of
the associated pipe direction to the invert label prefix.
The options for Label Format are Individual
Labels, Data Table and Attribute Block. For Individual Labels, the
program draws regular text entities. The Use MText option
will draw the labels as MTEXT entities. Otherwise they are drawn as
TEXT entities. When draw in MText, the option Draw Box Around
MText will draw a box around the MText Structure Labels. The
Data Table method will put the labels is a block as shown
below. There are settings for the size of the block columns and the
block label justification. The Attribute Block method
inserts a block and puts the labels into the block attributes. The
Align By Centerline option will rotate the labels to be
parallel with the pipe. Otherwise the labels are drawn horizontal
to the current twist screen. The Locate Only Direction
Changes will only label when the pipes to the structure have a
deflection angle. This setting applies to utility networks that
have a lot of nodes in straight lines and you only want to label
the end nodes. The Label Only When Structure Assigned Structure
ID option will only draw the structure labels when the
structure has an ID other than None. This option is meant for
clearing up unnecessary labels for cases like utility networks that
have a lot of structures without ID's. The Place Funnel Flare End
At The End Of The Pipe relocates the funnel to be part of the pipe
length. The Draw Riprap At Headwall Inlet draws a hatch
pattern using the pattern and size set under Setup. In default, the
pipe entities are drawn on top of sewer structure entities. The
Draw Sewer Structure on Top of Pipes allows you to draw
structures on top of pipes. Draw Structure at Inlet Symbols at
Inlet Locations if the user has an inlet offset specified this
will place symbol at the inlet location. Draw Catch Basins
Structure Outline at Structure Location will draw the outline
with the structure dimension at the structure location.
Under Pipe Labels, you can choose whether to label the pipe
size, material, length, name or slope. For each label, there are
settings for the prefix and suffix, for whether to put the label
above or below the pipeline, and controls for label sequence of the
fields. Draw Pipe Direction allows user to select Downstream
to Upstream or Upstream to Downstream. The Pipe Direction
Marker has two styles for flow direction arrows. The Draw
Pipe 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. The pipe is drawn at outside border of the
symbols, however the Draw Pipe From Structure Center to
Center will draw pipes from structure center to center. The
Draw Pipe Thickness will show the thickness of the pipe with
the option to hatch. The Stack Labels For Short Pipes option
will automatically make a stacked row of labels when the pipe
segment is too short to fit on a single row. The Deflection
Angle options have separate prefix/suffix settings for left and
right, and the label rotation can be horizontal to the current
screen view or perpendicular or parallel to the pipe. Pipe Label
in MTEXT allows the user to label pipe runs using MTEXT.
For Area Labels, the program can label the
drainage parameters for each inlet including area, runoff
coefficient, Tc and discharge. There is also the ability to draw a
perimeter polyline for the drainage area and to hatch the
area.
For Lateral Labels, you can choose whether
to Draw Laterals and Label Laterals. The Draw Lateral Type allows
the user to select 2D Polyline, 3D Polyline, Double/Width, or
Dashed/Width. Lateral Direction Label has three styles None,
Parallel Leader, or Arrow On Pipe to show the direction of flow
along the lateral. For the Lateral Structure Labels the user can
specify a Prefix or Suffix for the Label Cleanout Name, Label
Lateral Connection Name, and Label Station From Downstream Manhole
by placing a check box with these two options if you choose to
label. The check box toggle for Label Lateral Length the user can
control the position of either Above Pipe or Below Pipe and also
add a Prefix or Suffix. For Lateral Length the labels can be based
on structure center-to-center or actual pipe dimension that removes
the width of the structure and goes from the structure edges, and
also specify what is to be labeled with a position, Prefix, or
Suffix. The Lateral Slope the labels can be based on structure
center-to-center or actual pipe slope, and toggle between the Slope
Format of Percent or ft/ft. Layers can be assigned for the Labels,
Symbols, and Linework and also the System Name as either Off,
Prefix, or Suffix. Use the Label Style to assign text standard and
set the Linetype.
You are free to move the text anywhere desired for better appearance after it plots. The labeling 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 original 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 labeling 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.
