I tried to find a fully automated way to annotate alignment axies in section views. Bummer !
I did an internet search. Same problem for other users.
Profile Grade Line Marker Point is capable of using blocks containing whatever info. But all this must be made by hand, one by one !!!
So i used VB.net to create a custom app to solve this problem.
Reads the Civil database and gets all the axies (with or without profile).
Exposes them to the user to select which of them to work with using CheckedListBox.
Creates blocks with the Alignment names.
Assigns them to new MarkerPoint Styles.
Select PGL to create using those new MarkerPointStyles.
I could also create plain autocad points and text for each PGL but these objects do not belong to the section view and that is a disadvantage.
App soon to be completed and available for downloading for Civil 3D 2017.
