Establishing Point Settings

Changing the Point Creation Settings
The Point Creation settings affect how COGO points are created in a
project, and what information you are prompted for when you create
points. For example, you can create points with automatic 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.
When you import points, certain point settings, such as elevation,
point number, and description, are not applied. The Import from File
command uses the information in the ASCII file that you are
importing. However, the Insert To Drawing As Created setting is used
for importing points.
If more than one person working on a project over a network is
placing points, then each person can adjust the current point number
to avoid confusion. One person could set “100” as the current point
number, and another person could set “200” as the current point
number. The same point number cannot be used twice in a project.
If you choose the
Automatic
option, then type
a value in the
Default Elevation
box.
To create points
with elevations,
select the
Automatic or
Manual option.
To place points
into the drawing
as well as into the
project, select the
Insert to Drawing
As Created check
box.
Each person can
set a different
Current Point
Number.
