How to add an Alignment Curve Label that begins at a specific point

My company alignment curve label shows Radius, Length, and Delta.  But it shows that for the entire curve length.

 

The County has requested us to show it starting at a certain station.  Is this possible?  

 

My Label info is as follows

R=<[General Segment Curve Radius(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>'
L=<[General Segment Length(Uft|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>'
∆=<[General Segment Total Angle(Udeg|FDMSd|P4|RN|AP|Sn|EN|DZY|OF)]>

 

how can I change this so it shows the L from a specific station?

Intersect the alignment with a new 'dummy' alignment at the needed start station of the label, and within the same site as the current alignment. The new alignment should prevent the label from spanning the entire curve length.

 

Alternatively, you could add a new PI at the start station for the label, but, then you're messing with the geometry of the original alignment.

That worked!  Thanks!

 

Or rather, the first part, adding a dummy alignment, worked 😉
