Labeling coordinates in Bentley Map with Alternate Coordinate System

Hi,

I understand you are looking at placing coordinates labels.

Have you checked the following WIKI, it may be helpful for you:

Creating LAT/LON Coordinate Value Labels with Bentley Map

If you need further assistance please get back to us.

Thanks and Regards,

Komal,

I looked at the mvba.

The tool does not have the option to set the style of labeling.

The default labeling is in fraction and does not display Degree/Minutes/Seconds symbol.

I am looking at labels as per the Active Angle Readout settings in the dgn file such as DD:MM:SS with symbols.

Hello,  The macro is working fine at my end.  It places the label using the current text settings, and current Angle Readout. 

Is this not what you're seeing? Are you needing something different?  I'm using Bentley Map SS4.  Note, this macro labels the active coordinate system values, not the Alternate Coordiante System which is for display only.

Lastly, you can label Lat/Long values of the Active Coordinate System, by incorporating XPROPS into your workflow.  With XPROPS loaded, you can use Bentley Map labeling to label a number of extended properties including the Lat and Longs.

You can download a copy of XPROPS here:

Inga,

Thanks for the detailed reply and for introducing the xprop mdl.

I did not know about it.

xprop solved my requirement.

However, the latlong macro does not display labels as in your screenshot but as in the screenshot below as fractions!

The active angle readout settings are the same as yours!

The dgn file is in UTM84-44N system.

Any suggestions?

Make sure the "Active Font" contains the special "degree" character, otherwise you'll see fractions. Try using a TrueType font such as Arial or Courier New both of which should work.
