How to label a station equation at intersecting alignments?

[reids]

Is there a way to create a label style that can label the station equation where alignments intersect in plan view? Meaning that it will display the station of each alignment at their intersecting point.

I can't seem to figure this one out.

I believe you can do something similar using Reference Text in the Alignment
Label Styles. Not much to go on. I thought I have some info but cannot
find it.

Create a general label style with two reference text lines. When you place to general label, it will ask you to pick the reference 1 alignment, then the reference 2 aligment. The rest is accordingly.

If you need help, let me know and I can try and find a style for you to use.

That does work, thanks a million!

It's funny how many times I tell people they have to think "outside the box" to get C3D to do non-standard stuff. Unfortunately there are times I can't see out of my own box.

Thanks again!

You can also take that label farther than just the station intersection stationing, like northing and easting, alignment names, ect depending on what info you need in your standard label.

The only thing I think that you will have to do after labeling is that if you change the alignments at all, ie moving them a bit, and the intersection changes physical location, you will have to move the label datapoint to the new intersection. Easy to do and the data updates, but it's a general label so I don't think it's tied *completely* to the intersection. I may be wrong- it's been awhile since I've used it.

We have developed a tool that might help you. here is a youtube vid on how it works:
