Ok...I am going to reach really far for this one. I am told that there was a command in R12, and SDSK 7? That would not only lable the offset of an object from an alignment, but would include the station, and a FG elevation for the CL alignment at that point. Now if that is true, cool. Now, to where I am headed with this. My employers refuse to allow anyone to use templates. So what we do is grade our sites by....h a n d....and then cad them. If there was a way to list a point adjacent to an alignment, then do some addition/subtraction, then place the station listed, and the elevation calculated at the point selected......Well I think you can see where I am headed..If not I will think of some other way to explain it.

FG elevation??

I do you can label a station by Alignments -> Station/Offset -> Label however this will not label any elevation, maybe in the Civil package?

Do you have a AECC point in that location, or are you selecting a point on a surface.

Nothing in the Civil package that will do it without running templates or using points....If you set a proposed FG alignment, you are setting your centerline elevations. If you create a template and run it along your alignment, you can use the civil pack to label for you. But if you are stuck in a spot to where you are unable to templates or aeccpoints, you need to sit there and calculate the elevation out. But I was just thinking that if you can do math with in lisp, which you can, and have your lisp insert a point block where you tell it to, then have it enter an interpolated grad at that point from a user give slope. I think I am just going to sit here and see if I can figure these templates out, and just hide it all...

If you can hide it from whom ever you'd be better off, but if you need help with the code let me know I have some tools (code) for AECC points and such.

I'm pretty sure that you may be able to do this without templates; however you will need to set up plan/profile view label frames in Sheet Manager within the Civil package of LDT (Design, or Advance Design modules of Softdesk)
