Hello, I'm working on sewer planning, so I have to label a ton of 2D polyline segments with its length, slope, pipe type (material), and pipe profile (radius in mm). All of these information's are stored in .dat file (text file, input file extension for AutoCAD module I'm using). Module is based on AutoCAD Map 2008, also I use Civil 3D 2010. This is how it's supposed to look: As you can see, above line segment is printed segment length with suffix "L=", under the segment is slope (in percentage) with suffix "i=" and prefix "%" and type material (PVC SN8). I would format .dat file to contain only necessary data, and to be .txt off course. Is it possible to do this in Civil 3D somehow, or it requires writing a LISP? (I've attached cleaned .txt file. First column is segment length, second pipe material, third pipe radius (profile), and fourth is slope). Any help is welcome. I'm loosing a lot of time on doing this by hand. I have less then 30 days to finish, so any hour saved is significant. Thank you sewer_S6.txt sewer_s6.dwg
