We are documenting a Landscaped Area & placing points for setout of paving, Garden Beds etc............ Does anyone know if there is a method of getting Archicad to schedule these points as Northing & Eastings. At present the Landscape Dept are using the Level Dimension Tool to get the look that they want for there points on Plan.

Any Ideas would be appreciated

If it is just text or dimension then no you can't schedule those.

But if you are placing objects at those points and those objects can tell you the Northing & Easting - or you can add them manually to the object parameters yourself - then yes you can schedule those objects and get the info you need.

Thanks Barry,

Is anyone aware of an object that can be used that will automatically add the Northing & Easting based on its X/Y position on a plan relative to 0/0. A staff member has said that he had such a block while using Autocad. I just want to check that I am not going to reinvent the wheel if such an object already exists.

I may be missing something, as the terms Northing and Easting are not familiar to me, but I assume they are based on x/y coordinates?

This topic indicates that there was a bug as recently as AC 12 that prevented an object from reporting its coordinates in a schedule, only in 2D/3D windows:

If this is what you're after, I wonder if anyone has tested to see if this has been fixed in 14?
