Import Survey Points?

Recommended Posts

Hello,another question on importing points?

LDD 2008:

I am trying to import survey points,

I have created a coded description library,

I have created a series of blocks associated with the point descriptions,

I have created a figure_prefix.txt file.

I have imported the description key file into the description key manager.

In the Point Settings,Insert tab,I have set the search path to the location of the blocks,and elected the Use Current Point Label Style When Inserting Points.Under the Description Keys tab I have elected Ascending and both Matching options.

Under Point Label Styles:

Name,active desckeys only

Data,Point number

Insert Common Symbol...all the blocks are shown in the pull down

Layer set to *Current*...not all layers are shown in the pull down

Description Keys

DescKey Matching On

DescKey File is set to current file in description key manager

Substitute DescKey Description is checked

Insert DescKey Symbol is checked

When importing,The points show up with description but no symbols.....

I think that the figure_prefix library is not located in the right directory/folder/file???

Also is there a way to populate point groups when importing points?

 

Any help would be appreciated? Thanks,rlshound

There will shurely be someone out there who knows exactly what to do, but did you create a point style and set symbol or marker for that point?

There is also a place to tell it where the blocks are stored. However, I have seen even that not work sometimes. So we have a template with all block definitions already inserted and then it does not have to find the files.

Goodmorning sinc, yes...you are right...I do not have the "insert common symbol" field elected...

 

Through deduction I found that by electing "insert common symbol" small boxes would be framed around the point....

 

How's the weather in Colorado?

 

Thanks, rlshound
