Can Dynamo be used to access GIS information stored within a block reference? GIS information saved as a shapefile was imported into the DWG with a couple of fields (pnt, elev) as a block reference. Wondering if I can get access to this information in Dynamo? [image]

Yes. There are nodes in the Civil 3D Toolkit for working with object data. This should help: [image] Label imported GIS pipe with OD data Civil3D I am trying to label lines with OD data fields. (Imported pipes from GIS) ObjectExtensions.GetParameters does not list any OD…

Thank you. This post solved part of what I am hoping to achieve. I have a DWG with imported points for storm drainage manholes. The points were imported from a GIS model, and the point number was brought in (point number represents the structure name in the GIS model). Upon import a block reference …

[image] hestingjj: The next question I have is can the “pnt values” then be used to get the block references that are tied to those values? Sure, you just need some piece of information that ties the two together. Maybe “pnt values” is the same as the block name, or there’s an attribute value…

Thanks. I see that you have created a node for PointLabelStyles. Is there a node I can use to apply that point label style using dynamo? [image]

No, unfortunately I haven’t had time to implement a set style node for COGO points. They are treated differently under the hood than other types of objects, so it’s a little more effort to work with them. But you could do something like this: [point]
