This makes it handy to create Civil 3D point tables from selected COGO points with station and offset data.

To add station and offset properties to COGO points

  1. Click Kobi Toolkit for Civil 3D tab > Points panel > Add Station and Offset to Points Add Station and Offset to Points icon

    Station and Offset to Points dialog box - Kobi Toolkit for Civil 3D

  2. In "Select Points" section choose point selection method. You can choose between:

    a. Selection: select COGO points manually from the drawing

    b. All: all COGO points in the drawing will be selected

    c. Group: choose COGO point group and all points in the group will be selected

    d. Numbers: Enter COGO point numbers in syntax 1,4-10,20

  3. In "Select primary alignment" select alignment that will be used for station and offset calculation.

  4. Optionally select additional alignment in "Select secondary alignment" drop down.

  5. Use Settings button Settings button icon to define prefix and suffix separately for left and right side.

To create point table from COGO points with station and offset data

  1. Click Annotate tab > Labels & Tables panel > Add Tables Menu > Add Point Table Add Point Table icon

  2. Create new or edit existing Table style Create new or edit existing Table style icon.

  3. Add new column by pressing Add new column icon.

  5. Add Offset1 property by selecting it in Properties drop down and pressing Add Offset property icon.

  6. Repeat steps 3-5 for properties Station1 and optionally Offset2 and Station2.

  7. Click Select a point group icon to select a point group that specifies the points to be included in the table.

  8. Click Delect points in the drawing icon to select points in the drawing to be included in the table.

  9. Click OK.

  10. Select the location for the upper-left corner of the table in the drawing.

Example of Point Table with calculated stations and offsets of selected COGO points

Please note that station and offset properties of points are dynamically updated whenever point or alignment is modified. If point table was created in Dynamic reactivity mode, the point table will be automatically updated too.
