Establishing Point Settings
Before you create or import any COGO points into a drawing, you should set
up the point settings.
Note Changing the point settings does not affect points that are already
inserted into the drawing. To update points in the drawing with changes to the
point settings (such as marker style or automatic leaders, for example), re-insert
the points into the drawing.
Changing the Point Creation Settings
The Point Creation settings affect how COGO points are created in a project
and how you are prompted for information as you create points. For exam-
ple, you can create points with automatically generated elevations, or you
can choose to be prompted for elevations. You can create points that are
numbered sequentially, or you can choose to manually number the points
that you create.
To display the Point Settings dialog box, choose Point Settings from the
Points menu.
If you choose the
Automatic option,
enter a value in
the Default
Elevation box.
To insert points
into the draw-
ing, select this
check box.
To create points
with elevations,
select the
Automatic or
Manual option.
Each person can set
a different Current
Point Number.
