rlshound Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricken Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caddcop Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlshound Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks caddcop, can you tell me where within the template the blocks are stored? rlshound:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinc Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Do you have "Insert Common Symbol" selected? I'm pretty sure you don't want that option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlshound Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 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?

sinc Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Snow... We need it, though. So far, we've had a rather cold winter, but not much precipitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
