Blessed3x,
I know Jeff has a very good station offset point & point group table program
he posted in the customer-files a while back. You could insert land points
on the polylines/line that create your striping and use this program to
create the station offset table by selection in each drawing or in a
schedule sheet.
For the quanties you might use a selection by layer & object that returns to
total distance. Not sure how that will work for your type of drawings.
You might creating a print text/csv file with the station, offset & maybe
the layer with the layers names right inside of Jeff's program. that could
help you calc the amount of sf of paint by layer item. like c-strp-36,
c-strp-24.
I looked at doing something like this for runway striping. first I used
alignment because I could get and label all the lengths & curve data from
the alignments.
It worked ok but I HAD a ton of alignments. Next I looked at selecting a
polyline and getting the station offset of the vertices points and curve
data, but I'm still having trouble with curve data from polylines.
this is all cut and paste stuff but it might help you get started. I'll look
at home for a working sample and e-mail or place in customer-files for you
if I can locate.
have a great day.

marking quantities on road design sheets. I want each line listed by
beginning and ending station/offset and length. I figure tag labels could
be used for pmark types. For years we've just chugged along and done it all
by hand, but I have a couple of VERY large jobs that I would appreciate a
faster method. This seems like something that LDD should do. It could also
be used for storm and sanitary sewer, street lighting and any number of
other civil applications.
