Managing Points
127
AutoCAD Land Development Desktop includes many symbols that
you can use for description keys. These symbols are stored in the
c:\Program Files\Land Desktop R2\data\symbol manager\cogo
folder. You can also create a custom symbol to use in your drawing,
and then use the WBLOCK command to save the block to the
symbol folder.
If you edit description keys, you can update the drawing with
the new settings by using the Modify Drawing command from
the Points ➤ Check Points menu.
The Relationship Between Description Key Usage and
Point Markers and Point Labels
To fully implement description key substitution, you must format and
use a label style that is set up to use description keys. The label style
may insert only a symbol, or it can label the point with point number,
full description, and any other point value.
When using point markers, the full description can be substituted for
the raw description, but symbols are not inserted unless you use a
point label style.
The following illustration shows the relationship between point
markers, point labels, and description keys.
