Listing and Labeling the Vertical Alignments

Labeling the Finished Ground Tangents
You can label finished ground centerline tangents and ditch and transition
tangents with labels that show the percent slope along the tangent and the
finished ground elevations. The finished ground elevations are placed along the
grid base at the increment you specified with the Values command.
NOTE
You must label the vertical curves before labeling the tangents, otherwise
the tangents will be labeled to the PVI points rather than the start/end of
the vertical curves.
To label finished ground tangents
1 Use the Set Current Profile command to set the current profile.
The program automatically sets the profile based on the current alignment.
2 From the Profiles menu, choose Label ä Tangents.
NOTE
If you need to change the label increment after you generate a profile, use
the Set Properties command.
3 Select the tangent to be labeled.
The command continues to prompt you for tangents to label.
4 Select each tangent to be labeled, and then press ENTER to end the command.
The grade and finished ground elevations are placed on the finished ground
text layer that you specified using the FG Layers command. The labels are
inserted as AutoCAD text objects using the current text style and placed on the
defined Finish Ground Text Layer. If the height of the current text style is zero,
the labels are inserted with a height of 0.1 times the horizontal scale of the
drawing. For example, if the horizontal scale equals 1=50, the text height
equals 5 (0.1 u 50).
