Reference Text Label to Alignment

[F.Camargo]

Hello everyone!
How are you?

I'm trying to insert a station value label in the alignment, but I don't see any reference text options.

Does anyone could help me please?

Thank in advance

COGO Points do not support Reference Text in labels. Perhaps creating a Surface Spot Elevation that uses an Alignment Reference Text, or an Alignment Station/Offset Label that has a reference text for surface elevation.

Lastly, it wouldn't be hard to create a LISP that would read the points, gather station info from Alignment, and plug that into the points to replace existing Raw Description. This lisp does that, but does not format the number as stationing, like 15+75.04, etc.

(defun c:StaToDescr ( / pts len ctr pt xy sta off)
(vl-load-com)
(prompt "/nSelect COGO Points")
(setq pts (ssget)
	  len (sslength pts)
	  ctr 0)
(setq algn (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nSelect Alignment: "))))
;(setq srf (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nSelect Surface: "))))

	  
	  (while (< ctr len)
			 (setq pt (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname pts ctr)))
			 (setq xy (list (vlax-get pt 'Easting)(vlax-get pt 'Northing)))
			 (vlax-invoke-method algn 'StationOffset (vlax-get pt 'Easting) (vlax-get pt 'Northing) 'Sta 'Off)
			 (vlax-put pt 'RawDescription (rtos Sta 2 2))
			 (setq ctr (1+ ctr))
			 
			 )
			 
			 )

Point label style don't have that functionality natively. You would need to use UDP's with a little help from THIS

... or use pipe network structures that look like points. 😎

I had recently finished a job I was on for 3 years. One task was tracking test thousands of test pits across thousands of drawings and 7 countries. Test pits could come in daily weekly monthly and the tables had to be live. pipe networks structures were awesome for this

I did the first option with Spot Elevation and worked fine!

I haven't tested this lisp because I don't know how to do that. 😅

Thanks
