points automatically placed adjacent and perpendicular to an alignment

I need to place points automatically and in order sequentially along an alignment and I need to generate data from the points relative to an adjacent alignment. SO, two alignments, adjacent but not parrallel to each other. The data would then be point #, sta and offset from the adjacent alignment with the points placed in order and by window or crossing. I have a few thousand to place so one at a time would be an undesireable solution of course.

 

Any suggestions or an outright solution would be great!

thanks,

One way:

Set the offset points using the standard point creation along alignment using distance interval command. Use the SincpacC3D Dynamic Linking commands to link the point group those points were placed in to the adjacent alignment and use UDPs to display the station/offset from that alignment.
