I am an ex-ldd/civil design user that just started with Survcadd.

I want to know how can I automatically generate parking stalls and labels
using survcadd. It can be done with autodesk ldd/civil design just
wondering if survcadd had any modules included for this.

Thanks!

Under the Design menu of the Cogo/Design module of SurvCADD the command
parking is available. It isn't a real fancy command but it will draw
stalls based upon stall length and width between points, along polylines
or based upon the number of stalls desired. There aren't any automated
annotation routines with this routine however. What would you have in
mind for the labels? We may just slap it in the program. Email me an
example if you want.

I am looking to automatically label the parking spaces

Ex.: 25 spaces

using the current drawing text style.

Here's a tip I use:
Create a dimension style named Parking
Check boxes to suppress dimension and extension lines
Set units to no decimals
Set Measurement Scale to 1/(space width)

Works pretty well except on spaces on a tighter curve.
If you expand or trim a row of parking, the count will automatically
update.
Just watch out for the handicap spaces.

If one has Toolpac from Dotsoft, one can get total counts pretty quick:
copyclip the Parking dimensions to a new drawing and explode them twice
(single line text required)
use DSTP_ANNOEVAL (annotation numeric evaluation) to get the sum of all
the dimensions.

What do you do when the parking spaces are on an arc shaped curb?

I tried dimensioning the arc but I get degrees instead of the actual
parking spaces number.

Any suggestions?

I drop back and punt. Parking on arc is the situation where my workaround
can fail miserably. I go back to manual (count em) there.
