If I have a 2000' alignment, and I want to find exactly where station 14+25.67 is, how do I do that? How do you find where a point is on an alignment based solely on stationing? Seems like it should be simple to do, but it escapes me right now. Thanks!

The transparent command 'SO can be used to find the point at a specific station and offset. So to add a basic Acad Point to the drawing:


Command: POINT

Current point modes: PDMODE=0 PDSIZE=0.00
Specify a point: 'so


>>Select alignment:
>>Specify station along alignment: 215.92

>>Specify station offset: 0

Resuming POINT command.
Specify a point:
(1.77917e+006 289476.0 0.0)
