    Default Smart Station Labeling

    I would like to have the wildcard option to automatically include the alignment name in the name of the layer for station labeling. It would also be nice to have a toggle option that would allow you to choose whether the alignment name either precedes or follows the station label layer name. When ever I have to redo my station labeling, I like to have Land delete my existing stationing layers and it would be nice not to have to enter the alignment name in the station label setting for each alignment.

    I would also like to be able to just pick the alignment that I want to station label and have it automatically station the alignment with the correct layering, as discussed above, without having to set the alignment current. Another plus would be if I would have an option for two different offsets for both station labels and station point labels. I always have my station point labels at a greater offset then that of my station labels so that my text is not sitting on my other linework. I can currently do this but I have to separate it into two steps when station labeling.

    It would be advantageous to be able to set the text length and format so that the labeling could place the alignment name under the stationing as well.

    The wild-card option to include the alignment name with
    the labels CAN be automatic IF you set it up in your
    DEFAULT prototype from which you begin your projects.

    Hey,

    Thank you for the info, it was very helpful. I guess I just never made that connection, and as I read your reply it just clicked like DUH you should have known that.
