    Default Creating points with Alignment data

    Anyone familiar with Iowa DOT "S Sheets"?

    We need to create a table of points along sidewalk ramps referencing the road center line alignment and offset. All we seem to be able to do is create points ON the alignment line perpendicular from the point we selected on our sidewalk ramp. What we are trying to avoid is using the Annotate tab to create a bunch of labels then have to manually enter them into the "S-Sheet" tables.

    Not the right area for this but is there a way to export labels?

    Thanks

    Create your points where ever you want, then go to the Toolbox tab in the Toolspace and run the "Station Offset to Points" report. Copy and paste this into the drawing if necessary.

    Another option is to create a pipe network and set a no-plot structure at each location. You can create a structure table with station, offset, elevation, description, etc.
