The new Label Leader command in Civil 3D 2010 has provided us with a very popular SOLU-AROUND. We now have the ability to drag the profile structure label left or right of the structure and the leader remains at the top of the structure.
No I’m not kidding, I haved looked for this since the 2007 version!
Let’s look at 3 simple steps to conclude this solution.
- Select the label and drag it directly above the structure. (Confirm ortho is on before dragging)
- Right click, and select Toggle Label Pin
Select the rectangular grip (marked with the pin) and drag it to display properly
Video Tech Tip of this feature will be posted on ADSKsolutions.com when available.
Newer version of Civil 3D will require users to follow these updated steps.

Drag the label straight up
Select the + grip that is ½ way
up and drag it out
Right click to pin the leader
Now select the label grip and
move it to the right location.
Thank you for posting this work-around. Any chance you could post your profile label style? I tried the workaround on our company label style and it did not work as it did in the example above- I suspect it is because our profile label is composed differently. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
