Good Morning!
I am attempting to get a read out on our curve data similar to what we had in Inroads. This involves the Easting and Northing. I have gone through the effort of finding those in the Text Favorites Manager, however that data does not populate when the horizontal is annotated.
This is the readout that I am getting. I realize that the latest version of ORD may fix this, but our DOT is not using it yet and so we have not made that switch. I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is some button I am not pressing. Has anyone had any success in annotating all the data on the curve set using the text favorites manager?
I suspect that could be because a curve is not a point feature. There is no N/E to a curve. However, you may be able to get the N/E of the PI - which is a point (even if not a point feature). What is the favorite being used to label the PI? Does that indicate something you might be able to use?
I haven't played much with the annotation, and I'm honestly not looking forward to it. It seems awfully complex, and not very "nimble".

Danna:
You are using the incorrect coding on this favorite.
The correct coding is "Plan Annotation.Arc PI" for both Northing and Easting (E= Plan Annotation.Arc PI, N= Plan Annotation.Arc PI).
This string is located under the Civil Element Properties> Plan Annotation> Arc> Arc PI. The "Coordinate Format" box for Northing will be "Y" and for Easting "X" which will show up when selecting "Arc PI" from the dropdown.
Best Regards,
Mark
