I have set the geo marker projection is LL84, still unsure how to set up drawing to label points and see lats & longs in properties also how can I make sure it’s orientated correct with two known lats and longs, never had to do this so definitely need help, thanks
To see the Lat/Long in properties you need to have a LL based system set.

"...see lats & longs in properties..."
Of what kind of objects?
More details please on what you want to accomplish. Are you wanting to label COGO Points with Lats and Longs? Note labels?

So your importing cogo points into the drawing, would these points come from your field crew? What system did they have there data collector in. What exactly are they providing you with points that are on GRID or GROUND, as your elevation above sea level is greater that 1000' this would have an affect on the location of the data if they were providing you with GRID data, and you need the location of this data on the GROUND which would require you to set a average sea level elevation for the site and a combined scale factor so obtain the corrected (scaled) GROUND latitude and longitude.

Would like to find all points in plan view long and lat then attach labels of same to each point,don’t know how to work with coco , hopefully be able to click on point and see long and lat thanks
I don't think the OP has much experience with Civil 3D. I think they're referring to a "point" as any spot in the drawing. Other than MAPTRACKCS or changing the status bar coordinates to Geographic. I haven't found a way to pick a point and get the Lat/Long. Making a Note label to display the coordinates may be the only way.

I'm struggling to understand what you want to do. When you say "all points" do you mean COGO Points, AutoCAD Points, or something else.
More description please about why you need to see or label Longs and Lats. What information does your drawing represent? Is it for utilities, parcels, or staking out driveways?

So your drawing is referenced against Dakota County MN, US feet. If you want to know where lat & long coordinates are located in your drawing, then you can do it the easy way. Well maybe it's not the easiest, maybe it is, maybe it's not, but it is more intuitive. Begin with a clean, brand new, out-of-the-box imperial template and assign the coordinate system known as 'Dakota County MN, US feet' then follow these steps and you'll end up with your two points as shown in image 5 down below.
