Run a polyline through the points using the 'pn transparent command and then dimension or label that object.

Hi Amriya,
To put a picture to Tim @tcorey 's words, draw a polyline from point to point, and then use a line label.

Amriya,
"We can use any method to make that PL line?"
Yes. In my example I just clicked node to node to create a polyline with vertices at each COGO point. If your COGO Points are in order you can use the Transparent Command 'PN as Tim suggested. If your points are not arranged in a numerical order you can use 'PO to click on each of them.
