[quote user="Nick D"]I am looking for something that would place regular text as the same coordinate as the pile (which is in a reference)[/quote]
Another detail revealed! If you're intending to write VBA, then this information is vital to a successful implementation.
[quote user="Nick D"] I suppose an algorithm which could identify x & y coordinates and start from the most Northwest point to Southeast point would be needed[/quote]
I suppose you're right. But the question Jan was asking is: "What are the details of that algorithm?" Unfortunately, algorithms don't write themselves: they must be designed.
- If the piles deviate from a rectilinear grid then the algorithm becomes non-trivial
- What happens if the MicroStation view is rotated?
- Is this a 2D or 3D model?
