I have hundreds of spot heights I have taken from my total station, and converted them into autocad lt 2007. Is there anyway of labelling them automatically using my survey data, as at the moment labelling each one is time consuming and hardly practical!

Thanks in advance, Olly

There are a number of lisp routines available for labeling points, but you are limited due to LT, unless you were to get an add-on lisp enabler such as LT-Extender. You could Attext (or Eattext if it available in LT) to extract the Northing, Easting and Elevation to a Table if that would work for you.

You could use a script (text file of AutoCAD commands, with a ".scr" extension) to insert an attributed block at the point coordinates, and the attributes would be labels of desired information. Would take a bit of manipulation of the raw data file to convert to a script.
