How do you label Northing and easting of a line?

In LDD there was a command 'label north/east', but I can't find it in C3D..

I've got a label style that shows latitude and departure. Holler if you need that.

I remember our whole LD->C3D migration was full of questions like these. The basic answer is to just start figuring out how to construct your own label styles, and how to control them. Start integrating things into your template and slowly but surely you'll have a faster way of doing almost everything.

It's a bit of a pain, but once you start figuring out how much time it saves when your template does most of your work for you, you learn to love it.

Id honestly considering hiring a guy from Microdesk to come out and help you build your template. He'll show you things that you can do that will save you a lot of time over the long run.

True statement about the template. Building a better template is an on-going challenge. One thing to learn is how, when you find or create a cool new style for something, drag and drop it into your template. Use a northing and easting point label style.
