Try changing the Angle Format to DD.MMSSSS (decimal dms) then draw the line again. <BR/><BR/>The 'AD transparent command uses the setting in the ANGLE Format. <BR/><BR/>The 'BD transparent command uses the setting the DIRECTION Format.<BR/><BR/>See if that fixes the problem. It worked for me when using the OOTB _AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS Base.dwt file and changing the angle format setting. I checked it with a general curve label style and with two AutoCAD angular dimensions (one in Decimal degrees, and the other in Deg Min Sec format).TommieRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809412502713737382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380016565827268846.post-58765791680232847702008-05-09T18:05:00.000-05:002008-05-09T18:05:00.000-05:00it is now when i draw a bearing and distance. it i...it is now when i draw a bearing and distance. it is when i draw a line by angle that it does nor do it correctly. check the post on whe discussion group and see how i have done it and a picture of it.Allen Robberson Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17035621606720002671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380016565827268846.post-38180970037493359552008-05-09T16:15:00.000-05:002008-05-09T16:15:00.000-05:00Allen,I tried it in both 2008 and 2009 and it seem...Allen,<BR/><BR/>I tried it in both 2008 and 2009 and it seems to work as expected. That makes me think that there has to be a setting in your drawing or template that's different from the one I'm using. If you don't mind, please try this:<BR/><BR/>1. Create a new drawing from an OOTB template such as _AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS Base.dwt.<BR/>2. On the Ambient Settings Tab scroll down to <B>DIRECTION</B> (NOT ANGLE) and change the Format to DD.MMSSSS (decimal dms).<BR/>3. Now draw the polyline from 0,0;'bd; 3 (quadrant); 15.1417 (angle/bearing); 500 (ft); [enter]; [enter]; zoom extents.<BR/>4. Menu: Lines/Curves; Add Line/Curve Labels; Add Line/Curve Labels.<BR/>5. From the Add Labels dialog box: Add; Select the polyline drawn in step 3.<BR/><BR/>If you get the correct result using this template, then the problem is definitely a setting in your drawing or template. Verify that the drawing units (command: units) for Type are set to "Decimal Degrees" and the Drawing Settings - Angular Units are set to Degrees then try again.<BR/><BR/>If it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if I can find any other settings that might be causing the problem.TommieRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809412502713737382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7380016565827268846.post-36890521851372013812008-05-09T15:20:00.000-05:002008-05-09T15:20:00.000-05:00i don't think this fixes the problem even in 2009 ...i don't think this fixes the problem even in 2009 civil 3d<BR/><BR/>http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=663727<BR/><BR/>AllenAllen Robberson Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17035621606720002671noreply@blogger.com
