Labels at random Chainages on Alignment

  • 1.  Labels at random Chainages on Alignment

    Posted 10-15-2020 11:45

    Is there anyway to create labels (text) at random Chainages along an Alignment,

     

    I've got a Railway CL about 20km long and an Excel Spreadsheet of about 20 points where Overhead Power lines cross this alignment,

     

    I want to create "Ticks" at these Chainages and to label  them - this is the part I can't see easily how to do (use to be easy in Terramodel)

     

    then export to DXF so I can go into the field to survey / check the overhead line clearance

     

    Thanks 

    John

    Found a solution 

     

    Under Data Prep Macro,

    Sta/Offset Points

    Create Points

    Then label those points

    That works John - we are just wrapping up an XLINES command for this exact purpose - should be out in the next week or so.

    Did you want to try out the Xlines and Label commands - I can set them live

    for you and give you a trial license if you would like to

    Yes please

     

    That would be good – I’m labelling up areas of As Built Services for Dig Permits
