Which control enables moving a label to the opposite side of a line or arc in Civil 3D?

• A. Shift
• B. Reflect
• C. Flip
• D. Translate

Answer: (C)

In Civil 3D, you can place a label on either side of a line or arc for readability, and the control that moves the label to the opposite side is the Flip option. When you select a labeled object and use the Flip control (often accessed via a flip grip or the contextual label tools), the label is rotated to the other side of the geometry while staying attached to it. This keeps the label associated with the same feature but switches which side it appears on, which is handy to avoid overlaps or meet drawing standards. The other actions either move the label without changing sides (Translate), mirror the geometry or the label (Reflect), or merely offset the label (Shift) rather than swapping sides, so they don’t accomplish the same effect.
