INDOT Docutopo Plan sheet topo callouts

[Anonymous]

INDOT utilizes a plan note across the top and bottom of plan sheets to describe the station and offset of the various topo items on a project.  The method we have been using to place these plan notes involves placing a block on the survy item and exploding the blocks then run a lisp routine that extracts the station and offset and then we manipulate the note.  Seems like their has to be a better way.....any ideas out thereWe are still using a somewhat primitive method of placing plan notes on sheets for the various topo items from the survey.

Looks like it has promise.  Does this work in 2012 or 2010

Yes, it works in 2010-2012. It will also work in the 2013 version, when it's released shortly.

I am hopeful a solution exists without a capital expense since those expenses are on hold right now internally but this product does look like a good value
