Label plan Station/Offset for reference alignment in profile view?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know if there is a way to use reference text in a profile view
label to denote plan station/offset for a separate alignment?

I tried that with poor results. the reference station off wanted to be from
the point in the profile not the plan. I'd like to see it work, too

I too tried and got the same results as Joe. Wish they would add that functionality.

How much of a workaround do you want



For an example, we want a manhole to show in a profile view but the sta/off is off a different alignment. Obviously not one in a pipe network.



I took an Alignment STA/OFF style and modified it to use only reference text that is:

STA:<[Station Value(Uft|FS|P2|RN|Sn|OF|AP|B2|TP|EN|W0|DZY)]>

OFF:<[Offset(Uft|P2|RN|AP|SD|OF)]>'<[Station Offset Side(CU)]>



I then set the dragged state for the leader to no display and have my marker in plan (dot at center of MH) and I moved the note to the profile and placed it next to the structure I want to label. When you grip it, it shows the plan marker location if you want to move it, and through the properties box you can change which alignment it references.



Kind of ugly, but works. It's better than static text, IMO.
