Now we could use two different major station label sets and use layer control to hide the unwanted labels in each
viewport, but if your like me youll end up messing it up and loosing track of what layers should be on or off. We can
use the same concept in my last post with hide negative values to perform the same task. For this task Im creating an
expression which checks the Drawing Scale Conversion and checks to see if the station value is divisible by 300 since I
want the major station interval to be every 300 in the right viewport.
To do this Im using the expression capability to evaluate an AND statement, the highlight portion of the expression
below.

If the expression evaluates as true, meaning the drawing scale conversion is less than 1200 AND the station value is
divisible by 300 a positive Station value is returned. If not a negative Station value is returned. By replacing the Station
value with the expression in the major station label and set it to hide negative values we get the results shown below.

No need to keep track of layers, just a need to modify the expression to get it to work.
