ID Northing/Easting In C3D

[jimmyhill]

Trying to get a northing/easting label for a point. LDT command was simple to find. C3d has N/E as a transparent command where you enter the coordinates. Does anyone know where to find the N/E command to label a point?

I don't think there is a command for labeling Northing and Easting in C3D.

Offhand, the only way I can think to do that is to create a Point Label Style that displays Northing and Easting. Then create a Cogo Point wherever you want the label. This is almost the same thing, except for the need to create a Cogo Point.

Unfortunately, the northing and easting isn't exposed to general labels. What I usually do is create a dummy alignment running through my site and then create a station offset label that only displays the northing and easting of the spot labeled.

northing and easting are available as a label style. just make sure your on your state grid coor system.

create a style
make a point with that style
good to go

Roger, you are right. If you are labeling a point as in a C3D cogo point, you can add the northing and easting to the label. If you are trying to label a point as in a spot within the project, then you have to label something like a point or alignment. There is no option to lable norhting and easting in a general label.

Did anyone ever find a way to do this? I have the same need. I want to label a spot in space with the northing / easting (or lat / long) without creating a point object. LDT did this function perfect and we used that ability often.
