    Default Alignment Station Coordinates

    I want to get coordinates of stations along an alignment in latitude/longitude. An incremental stationing report is exactly what I need, but it is giving me the northing and eastings. Is there a setting that I can change to get those in lat/long?

    Not sure - you can, however, add COGO points to each Station Label's WCS coordinate (manually, or automagically, of course ), with a Point Label Style that displays Lat/Long.

    Cheers

    I don't have anything installed that still has the VBAIDE available.

    ... Perhaps?

    I did just install VBAIDE, but short on time this evening.



    If manually labeling stations with COGO Points (or writing the code to do so programmatically yourself) is too large of a task, One can always use this custom DISPLAYALIGNPROF Command, subsequently followed by the 'Generate [COGO] Points' button.

    Looks like Map 3D (not Civil 3D?) .NET API provides a ConvertToLonLat() Method, under MgCoordinateSystem Class.

    I did just end up adding points along the alignment. I created a point file format with the name, latitude, and longitude. Then I exported the points as a csv. Worked for what I needed!

    I'd be curious about the results between that, and the values Corpscon returns
