For information on exporting survey points to a LandXML file, see Exporting
Survey Points to a LandXML File
(page 1471).
NOTE Survey data is a particular type of geospatial data. You cannot use survey
functionality for drawing objects.
To create survey points
1 Click Edit in the Survey Task Pane toolstrip.
2 Right-click the project, survey, or point group to which you want to add
a point.
3 Select Create New Point.
4 Specify the location of the new point on the map.
5 AutoCAD Map 3D creates the point and displays the Point Table.
To create survey points using coordinate geometry
1 Click Edit in the Survey Task Pane toolstrip.
2 Right-click the project, survey, or point group to which you want to add
a point.
3 Select Create COGO Point. The
COGO Input dialog box (page 1668) appears.
4 Select the desired coordinate geometry routine and enter the appropriate
information. For more information on entering coordinate geometry, see
Overview of Coordinate Geometry Commands (page 1027).
5 Click Create Point.
To move points from one point group to another
You can move points between point groups with standard copy and paste
commands. You can also CTRL-Drag points from one group to another. Note
that when you copy points from one group to another, you are not duplicating
those points. Rather, you are creating references to those points and adding
them to the new point group. You can move points between point groups
without entering direct edit mode.
1 Right-click the Points node in the point group you want to move.
2 Select Copy.
