How to Use Styles to Create Visual Distinction between Different Types of Pipes

Additional Exercise;

In this exercise, you learned how to use styles to create visual distinction between different types of pipes. You also learned how to rename each pipe and structure according to a predetermined naming system, and to provide annotation for each pipe and structure in a network. You now know how to use styles to control the appearance and content of the labels to meet various requirements. Finally, you learned how to use tables as an alternate way of organizing and displaying pipe network information.

Open the drawing named Displaying and Annotating Pipe Networks Beyond.dwg located in the Chapter 16 class data folder.

This drawing contains the stylization, labels, and tables that you created in earlier exercises in this chapter. In this exercise, use the following guidelines to stylize and label the remaining pipes and structures for the storm sewer and water distribution system:
  • Apply the C-STRM – Walls in Profile style to all storm pipes in the drawing.
  • Use the plan layout tools to create a waterline layout that begins at the tee at circle H and runs along the north side of Madison Lane. Stay between the right-of-way and the curb. End the waterline near the intersection of Madison Lane and Logan Court.
  • Change all current plan view labels to C-STRM – Name Only for all storm pipes and structures.
  • Label the remaining storm pipes and structures using the C-STRM – Name Only styles.
  • Rename the storm pipes and structures to continue the naming and numbering system that you’ve used so far.
  • Create a table for each storm sewer pipe network in the drawing. Use the C-STRM – Structure & Pipe Data table style.
  • Label all fittings and appurtenances in both plan and profile views using the appropriate styles. Label a few pipes using the Proposed Water style, just to identify the waterline.
