[ORD] Place Label Tool Keyins

Question

Hi all, 
 
 I am hoping to create some Place Label shortcuts but there seems to be an issue with them in ORD 2020 R3. If I run the keyin: 
 placelabel dialog;placelabel cellname "_Lbl_Pln_AlignName-Sta-Off" 
 it successfully opens and edits the values in the dialof box, however, it skips the option to select an alignment to Label and goes straight to the point, which has empty values. 
 
 The " placelabel tool open " keyin opens the "normal" Place Label tool and works fine, but none of the keyins affect the dialog. 
 
 Has anyone had some luck with this? 
 
 Regards, 
 Mark

 I am using 2020R3. 
 I believe that what you are attempting to do is what I have contained in the following script (which I have set up as a custom menu set for Rights-of-Way labeling). This one places a Station/ Offset label for Rights-of-Way located on the left side of an alignment: 
 "Template Active Annotation\Sheets\Plan\Right-of-Way\Prop. ROW\Offset Plus and Distance; ac=_Lbl_PR_Pln_Sta_Partial_Lt; Active Style= 0; dimstyle active= _Lbl_Pln_Sta_Partial; Placelabel Tool Open" 
 It prompts me to select the alignment, and then allows me to place the label with the correct station and offset based upon that alignment.

FYI fixed in 10.10 
 
 I can now use the keyin below to automate the label command: 
 placelabel dialog;placelabel cellname "LS_CTRL",placelabel withlabelleader off;placelabel relativeassociation on
