    Default LISP command to make decimal point act as point marker?

    Civil 3D does not seem to have an option to use the decimal point in an elevation as the point marker, something which is a common standard for drawings. Would it be possible to use a LISP command to do this? I am completely new to LISP commands.

    This can be done with point and point label styles.

    The label style needs 2 text components. One for the Left of decimal, one for the right of decimal. Each of these then has their Output parameter set to correspond to the side it's for. Set the left side to attach middleright, the right side to attach middleleft, and they both are anchored to to "Feature" MiddleCenter. The point style supplied the decimal point (I used a cross but you could use whatever you want.)

    Thanks for the detailed explanation, I have it pretty much figured out but I am getting some overlap. My left-of-decimal number's last digit is falling on top of the "feature" and so is my right-of-decimal's first number.

    So for 26.47, the "6" and the "4" would appear on top of each other, and on top of the feature. I double checked they they are attached the way you specified, so im guessing there is some other alignment setting that I am missing.

    Thanks again for the help

    ... You need to add a text offset distance (from feature), methinks.

    I use an X offset of 0, but I notice that the Border Gap still plays a role even if the border is set to not display. Play around with the offsets and gap until you get it how you want. If you still have a problem with the output, post the drawing.

    Yeah I had one of the justifications settings backwards on both of them, also Jeff_M playing with the Y offset pushed the point marker down into a 'decimal-ish' location. Got it perfect now, Thanks!!!

    Likewise... This is great, Jeff.

    Our survey group doesn't even have this style functionality (yet); they're still attempting to mimic LDD display settings!
