Pre-assigned Template Point Codes
The following table describes the point codes that are automatically assigned to
the Autodesk Civil Design program and are in every point code table. These are
for the most part points that cant be selected when editing a template, such as
ditch and slope points. You can edit the description of these points, but you
cant change the definition of the point. You can, for example, change point
code #1 from Centerline to CL.
The following table lists the predefined point codes. On features that have two
points, such as a bench ledge, the inner point is the point that is nearest the
centerline.
