Topic: Expression for Pipe Direction

I use the GIMP.

Ok gottcha, thought it was just a one time edit, not style edit.
Thanks

To be most clear.

NO this is NOT a style editing operation!

This is creating a Group of Specific Styles that will be applied very discreetly by the operator.

So it is actually a NO Time Edit. Apply the desired label and move on.  You just have to NOT label when you create the networks.

Only thing here though is when I click on a "crossing pipe" it selects the whole structure (that said pipe is attached to) and adds a structure label... Did I screw up?

[mjfarrell]

what are you using?

single part plan?
single part profile?
or
single part Section?

and are you labeling the pipes in Profile and or Sections?

[dfarris75]

single part section. label in section view.

[mjfarrell]

single part section. label in section view.

And then you DEPRESS and HOLD down the CTRL key to highlight the Object you desire to Label.


Right???

what you are actually seeing is that the ENTIRE

Pipe Network Object is highlighting....

you want to use the CTRL key to select the sub object within the Network in question.

Uhm... Well I uhh... Yes of course I did and oh looky here it's working fine now. I have no idea what I did earlier. Yeah it's working fine now. What you think I didn't or something??? Pff. Plz homey. You know me. I wouldn't forget such a thing. Pff. Everything's fine here now. Depress the ctrl key. Of course I did.

*Walks off mumbling* Man I gotta quit licking those Civil 3d toads.
