Extract description from a C3D cogo point "AECC_COGO_POINT"

JeffClark,

Within Civil 3d help, take a look at the API developer's guide. Here are a couple of good resources:

This is the developer's guide. It's got what you need. It's a good explanation of the things you are trying to do.

This is the c3d "object model". It's kind of a graphical representation of the data you can get to (i.e.all the **** you can get in trouble with).

Enjoy your learning experience.

JeffClark,

after you mess with c3d styles a little you'll see how simple, easy and straight forward they are. Lot's easier then writing some code to extract data. Styles are the real power of Civil3D in terms of presentation. If a person doesn't know about styles and how to use them, then that person doesn't know civil 3d. Give them a try, I think you'll agree.

I really hate to disagree with you but I find styles the way they are presented and used a royal pain you know where. They are unnecessarily over complex and user- unfriendly and yes I do know them and even use them. But I find my self exploding them to get the final product in the way I want it. I my view Civil3D has never lived up to it's promise; it still is behind LDD in several ways
