Automatically Generate Latitude-Longitude Text for an Object

[rlindsey8PJ57]

Hello....I'm having trouble trying to create a text string that will always display an object's current latitude and longitude. I was hoping there was a Field that I could insert but sadly there's nothing offered in the standard list. Would it be possible to accomplish this with a Diesel Expression? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Backstory: I'm in Map 3D 2020, the drawing is geo-referenced, COORDS variable is set to 3 and displays lat-long accurately. The overall goal is to be able to place a point anywhere in space and have a piece of text next to it automatically generated that displays that point's current latitude and longitude. I'm aware of the GEOMARKPOINT command but that still requires manual input to get a piece of text with the lat-long next to each point (unless I'm missing something with that command). 

I've attached a purged-out version of the geo-referenced file I'm working in.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Do you want Latitude-Longitude or X-Y?
And do you only need the Position Marker?

For a normal block with attributes, displaying X-Y is not a problem...

Lat-long would be ideal and it doesn't HAVE to be a position marker. Just something where when I move the block or point to whatever position, the text dynamically updates to display that point's current lat-long. Thank you very much!!

... so far, the option with Latitude-Longitude is just for Position Marker. Using the Annotations from Map 3D, MAPANNTEMPLATE.

You can use a geomarker to determine Lat/Long coordinates from a drawing with a projected coordinate system, e.g. State Plane, UTM, etc. You can't put the Lat/Longs directly onto a geomarker but by using a field, you can quickly and easily create a list which will display point numbers and their corresponding Lat and Longs. This video demonstrates how to use a geomarker to place your points and how to create a list with point numbers and Lat/Longs. The video also shows how REA, or Regen All, will update the Lat/Longs if the points are EVER moved.

Thank you for the reply. I ended up doing something like that but just using an extra piece of text next to the marker that has lat and long fields in the string. Then, I just copy the marker around with the text and it always updates as opposed to having a one table with all the values.
