Creates a Station Worksheet with the curve data; the worksheet number corresponds to the polyline number

No Curve Data

No curve data tables or tangent guide lines are created

The first time you use the command in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette. Stake properties are described in Inserting stake objects.

Each station point is labeled. If curve data tables were created, they can be selected and moved if necessary.
