I'm slowing transitioning from LDD 2005 to Carlson 2011.
I figured out how to incorporate an equation station...but when I label the Stations (and create CL points) the station labels after the equation station occurs where the even stationing would have been.
In my case, the EQ STA is 29+85 back = STA 30+23 ahead, so instead of labeling everything after the EQ STA the way I'd like, Carlson creates labels at the old even stations, but with the new labels (i.e. old 30+00 now = 30+38)...this is technically correct, but I'd like it to label the "new even stations"...This might not be a great explanation, but if anyone knows what I mean, and more importantly how to remedy this...feel free to help a brother out.
Thanks in advance.
I believe this issue was identified and addressed in a follow-up build of Carlson 2011 and as such, a software update might take care of the problem (I couldn't replicate the behavior in my current edition of Carlson 2011). As such, I'd recommend visiting:
http://update.carlsonsw.com/updates.php?product=Carlson&version=2011
You can either download and install the full build (usually Download 1 on each Carlson page) or a smaller incremental patch based on your CAD configuration). If the current build of Carlson 2011 or later doesn't address the issue, please feel free to contact me (lnelsonATcarlsonswDOTcom) or the Carlson Technical Support Staff.
