Rail Chainage for individual blocks

Hello everyone, 

I'm new to Civil 3D, but have a very good understanding of Autocad as I use this on a daily basis.

So sorry if this question seems a simple or has been asked before.

In simple term....
I have a rail layout.

It has a start and finish point with chainages already included on the layout.

What I have is various block details though the alignment and I want to give the block a chainage position.

Is there a simple way of doing this.

 

Many Thanks

Zane

Zane,
Can you post your drawing so we can see how you are using those blocks?

Hi Dave no I can't really because of client confidentiality.

 

Basically the alignment was created in civil 3d.

The individual blocks were created and placed in Autocad.

Each block has its on name.

I just wondered if there was a way were you could (in simple terms) quick select all the blocks by name and civil 3d would give it a chainage point based on the chainage points already included in the alignment.

 

Cheers

Zane

All I can think of is to use an alignment Station Offset label with a snap setting for Insertion point. Then work your way along the alignment selecting the blocks one by one.  Not too bad if its only 20-30 blocks, not great if you're looking at 100+
