Help with delta Northings & delta Eastings...
« on: January 09, 2012, 12:56:53 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has a general note, point or line label style that labels the delta Northing and delta Easting of a line between two points?  I've used the NE-CLC.lsp that has been around for years and can make that work but it makes for several extra steps when calling out the difference between design and as-built points. 

I see in the line label style you can call out the Start X and End X and Start Y and End Y coordinates but if you try to subtract these values it just gives you the formula ex. (delta N = 66.86-66.72') is there a way to force it to "do the math" and give me (delta N = 0.14')?

Oh I guess I should say I'm using C3D 2012 too.

Sure. Create Expressions for the Line Labels to use...one for Y & one for X. Use these expressions in the label:

Can you give me a sample of this expression?  The expression I was using just spelled out the formula it didn't solve for the math.
