“Drop the Parenthesis” – how to customize the name format for Structures:
Have you ever wanted to name your structures without the parenthesis in the label? Well if you can think it up…chances are that Civil3D can do it. The tricky part is locating where to customize the setting.

So here it goes:

1. Settings > Pipe Networks > Right Click “Edit Feature Settings”



2. Default Name Format > Structure Name Template > Select ellipse button …



3. Name Template dialog box > Name: > Edit out the ( and ) and select OK



Now you should be able to name your structures without the parenthesis in the label. This adjustment should be saved or added to your company styles template.
