In most cases, the easiest way to create a style is to find an existing style that
is similar to the format that you want, create a copy, and then modify the
copy.
In the following steps, you will create a design speed label style. You will learn
various ways to create and edit label styles using the AutoCAD Civil 3D
Toolspace.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Creating New
Label Styles.
To create a label style
NOTE This exercise uses Labels-4b.dwg with the modifications you made in the
previous exercise, or you can open Labels-5a.dwg from the
(page 819).
1 Zoom in to station 0+000 of the Main Street alignment.
Examine the design speed label. You will use this label style as a basis to
create a new label style that will display the design speed without the
station label. The design speed labels will be placed at locations where
the stations are already labeled.
NOTE Design speed information, including the station at which the design
speed has been applied, is available in the Alignment Properties dialog box
on the Design Speeds tab.
2 Select the design speed label. Right-click. Select Edit Alignment Labels.
