I can suggest a cheat way around this problem, however it's not very
elegant. Make sure that you have a field with a unique identifier for
every point and make a copy of your point file. Start editing your copy
in ArcMap. Select all and move them a little bit so that they are
completely within the NW section. Save the edits and then you can use
HawthsTools to attribute the NW section attribute. Then start editing
again and move all the points to the SW section... This method will
make you use HawthsTools 4 times, but it should get the job done. After
you have all 4 section fields attributed, join the moved around version
to the spatially accurate version. Calc the numbers for all four
fields. Like I said, it's not very elegant.
Good luck.

Subject: [gislist] Generating Section Corner Layer Fields and Labels
I've posted this question to the ESRI forum list with no response yet
and it doesn't seem like a technical support question so I'm hoping
someone from this list has a suggestion for me.
I'm using ArcInfo9.2 and would like to calculate the section number
attributes for an existing section corner point layer. Once the four
new attribute fields (NE, NW, SE and SW sections) are created and
attributed for each section corner point, I'd like to label a symbol
with the new attribute fields so that the appropriate section number
shows up within its respective corner of the symbol (similar to how a
CAD Section Corner symbol would look.
I'm not a programmer so, if this requires programming, I'm in trouble.
I tried HawthsTools 'Intersect Point Tool' and tried to intersect the
PLSS section polygon layer with the section corner point layer but it
crashed.
Apparently, it isn't able to recognize that each section corner point
intersects four distinct section polygons.
This seems like a fairly straight-forward task so I'm hoping there's a
tool or command for generating the new fields so I don't have to
calculate the data manually.
The second part to this is finding an ESRI section corner symbol that
will allow me to enter each section number label within the appropriate
quadrant of the symbol. Instead of labeling the section polygons in my
maps, I'd rather label the section corner symbols.
I appreciate any and all help.
