Automated PI renumbering

[Alriddin]

Let's assume that I have an alignment, with 4 PI's. They are all numbered based on the sequence that they were added. If I add a new PI, between #2 and #3, the new PI gets the number #5. This effectively means that my PI list goes 1, 2, 5, 3, 4.

Is there a way to configure Civil 3D to automatically renumber PI's, while maintaining their sequence based on relativity to other PI's?

You're referring to the PI index number?

I just played with this in version 2015 and the PIs renumbered sequentially when I added a new one between existing ones.

Hi Mark, thanks for the feedback. Would you be able to share a screencast for me, please? I am actually querying on behalf of a customer of mine, and am looking for a best-recommended workflow that I can present to them.

[MMcCall402]

A screencast would have to wait this this evening. (they frown upon such things during working hours)

I'm not really sure what I would be recording anyway. The sequential numbering happens on its own. This makes me wonder if where talking about the same thing here.

I just tested this in C3D 2020 and am seeing the PI's renumber correctly:

@Jeff_M Thanks for the screenshots. Can you maybe share your label style settings? I suspect that this might actually be the solution to the query anyway.

@Alriddin , I just added the Alignment PI Index to a TangentIntersect label style, as well as to a Curve Label Style.

Hi Jeff

where is the PI index#? I know I have seen it before.

more importantly can I get an alignment table with the PI index number?
