Define stationing and assembly by Excel data

[akstrum]

Is it possible?

I have a colleague who uses InRoads. (I'll use C3D language here. . . ) He is able to select an assembly (in a corridor) based on input in an Excel spreadsheet.

Is there anyway to import corridor Start and End stations?
Is there anyway to dictate a region's assembly based on Excel data (even a copy/paste solution)?

Have you tried the Stakeout report in the Toolbox?

It might be possible to write a program for this, but the only way I know of to create or edit a corridor in the base software is through the dialogs.

C3DReminders, I appeciate your blog and visit the feeds regularly!

I'm not familiar with the Stakeout report funtionality, and I didn't see it's immediate application to my nees; I'll have to dig in a little deeper.

The want for stationing as delineated in an excel worksheet has expanded to the need of defining assembly lane layer depth as delineated in an excel worksheet.

Do you have or are you aware of any relavent posts?

Sboon, I have recently used your tips to define assembly conditions offset from the baseline. Thanks for your input.

Too bad we can't copy/paste columns of data into the dialogs!

Sorry, I didn't comprehend your post correctly. The stakeout lets you output the info, but not bring it back in. I'm fairly certain programming a solution is possible, but I haven't seen a third party create one.
