Setting out tool.

[Dexie]

Does anyone know if there is a tool that will insert a symbol (circle on bench mark type symbol) and consecutively number them on insertion.

I want to use this to mark certain objects on a layout and then to create a worksheet that shows the coordinate of each object in order of insertion. e.g. P001,

P002........etc.

The Stake Object tool might work except that it doesn't auto number

I would also like to insert a stake object and create a worksheet that returns the coordinates of each stake object.

I can insert a stake object and display Label Reference as ID and number the ID as 1,2 3,4 etc.

Then create a report from the stake objects.

But how can I return the xy coordinates of each of the Stake Objects.

Hello, Did you found the solutions to this?

i am trying to build a worksheet that displays ID-Number, X coordinate, Y coordinate, Elevation and description, but i am having problems with the ID Number.

What is the formula to Display ID NUMBER ?

If you're talking about a plant, I think it's =('Plant'.'Plant ID').  

Otherwise, you can often use the name of the object, which is =N

How do you get a worksheet or report to display the x and y coordinates?

[michaelk]

If the object is a symbol you can use =XCOORDINATE, =YCOORDINATE, and =ZCOORDINATE

If the object is just geometry you can use =XCENTER, =YCENTER, and =ZCENTER.
