Hello all.
is my first post on this forum.
I have a question on how to convert Station and offset on xy coordinates.
Differently than is shown on this page.

Code of this page
; standard entity selection(setq sel (entsel "\nSelect Alignment: ")); get the entity name(setq ent (car sel)); get the entity list(setq lst (entget ent)); check to make sure the selection was the expected type(if (eq "AECC_ALIGNMENT" (cdr (assoc 0 lst))) ; if so, convert the entity into a VLA-OBJECT (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object ent)))(if obj (progn ; get the name of the alignment (setq nam (vlax-get-property obj 'Name)) ; get the start station (setq sta1 (vlax-get-property obj 'StartingStation)) ; get the end station (setq sta2 (vlax-get-property obj 'EndingStation)) ; set a couple of variables (setq sta 100.0 off 10.0) ; using the above variables, find this point on the alignment (vlax-invoke-method obj 'PointLocation sta off 'x 'y) ; create an AutoCAD point at this location (entmake (list (cons 0 "POINT")(cons 10 (list x y)))) ; ask the user to pick a point (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nSelect point: ")) ; find the station and offset for this point (vlax-invoke-method obj 'StationOffset (car pt1) (cadr pt1) 'sta 'off) ; inform the user (alert (strcat "The station is " (rtos sta 2 2) "\nThe offset is " (rtos off 2 2))) ))
