Hi,
What would be the best way to reformat a list of strings such as:
10.12345
100.12345
1000.12345
Into Station or Chainage typical format
0+10.12
1+00.12
10+00.12
Basically I need to insert a “+” two digits to the left of the decimal point.
Any help is appreciated, thanks
Thank you Paulo for the quick response. I am not finding the Civil Toolkit package to download. Is this something you are working on, or is it available already and I am missing a step to install it?
Will be available after AU, for now happy Python 
Hi @marshmallow ,
Alternative approach using basic nodes.
StnFormat.dyn (24.2 KB)
Hi @Paolo_Emilio_Serra1 ,
Nice python and package (Civil 3D Toolkit)
Cheers,
Jowenn
@Paolo_Emilio_Serra1 ,
thanks for the python code, looks a little intermediating to me but time to learn something new. It seems like you’re holding on to some great new functionality in the Toolkit for a big reveal in AU.
Thanks @JowennLua, your graph is very similar to how I addressed it, but it seemed like a very long operation for me!
That’s the spirit!
Hi @marshmallow ,
Can be converted to code to make it not that long. Just want to show the long method. Here’s the converted method. I’m not sure how to code the number to string so I left it as is. StnFormat_Code.dyn (9.8 KB)

I installed the Civil 3D toolkit and used the MText.StationFormatting and it was exactly what I needed. Nice Work and thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi!
New to Dynamo and I’m up to create my first graph.
First post in this excellent forum seems to be a reply
In Sweden we type Station Formatting, for Road 1/234.567, and for Rail 1+234.567.
Can this be done on the Civil 3D Toolkit - StationFormatting node or does it need to be done using Python coding?
Best regards,
Patrick
Did some changes to you code @JowennLua and now I think it work fine for my purpose and add a dash ”/” instead of + and set chainage to be shown as 1/234.567 instead of 12/34.567
Thanks for the good script

@JowennLua What language is the code in your graph? Is it C#?
Asking because I couldn’t find String.Insert in Python translater. Maybe it’s because of my skills
Then, I wonder how to write the code if I would like to be able to choose if I want decimals or not. Is there a way to make it user defined if user want 1, 2 or 3 decimals?
Anything in a Code Block is DesignScript.
Thanks @zachri.jensen .
When should I use DesignScript and when should I use Python?

Patrick
I was about to launch off into a long post, but I think this video covers everything anyway!
I can’t find the node “MText.StationFormatting” i think the new one ist the “AlignmentExtensions.StationFormatting” ist that correct?
Is there a way to move the position of the “+” sign? I always get blocks of 100, but I would like to have blocks of 1000. I.e. in my picture the first value should be 21+854.64. Is there a solution?
I couldn’t fix it using the node from Civil 3D Toolkit, instead I did like this
“Convert to X/XXX.XX
str2 = String.Insert(t1, 3, “.”)
" 3 is how many positions should be on the right side of the divider / or +”
c=String.Remove(str2, 5, 0);
" 0 i (str2, 5, 0) set the amount of decimals. Original where 2"
List.Flatten([a+“/”+c],-0)
“Set / for Road and + for Railway”
Perfect, thank u very much! I Will use this Code Block to format my list!
