C3D-0139 · Road labels at 3.2 height, NAME (50' R/W) format [ROAD-LABELS-2] done

Redraws both road labels on ROAD_TEXT at height 3.2 instead of 6.0 and in the user's format NAME (50' R/W). Erases the previous ROAD_TEXT pass first so it is not additive. Camellia Cir stays curved as one MText per character along the centreline; SdskCurvedText is registered in this session but has no managed wrapper so it cannot be constructed from a script.

// Road labels REDRAWN: height 3.2 (was 6.0 - too big) and the user's format "NAME (50' R/W)".
//
// Erases the previous ROAD_TEXT labels first so this is not additive.
//
// NOTE ON TEXT-ALONG-CURVE: the proper entity is SdskCurvedText (DXF SDSK_CURVEDTEXT, app SDSK) -
// it IS registered in this session, but it has NO managed .NET wrapper in any loaded assembly, so
// a script cannot construct one. Express Tools ARCTEXT/AcDbArcAlignedText is NOT registered here.
// Until a command-driven path is proven, the curve is approximated with one MText per character
// placed along the centreline and rotated to the local tangent.
