Introduction

This software can add additional information to Civil 3D Points as well as undertake various operations on the points, such as applying a transform, editing codes, editing point geometry (including creating a dynamic link to other objects), apply multiple symbols and more.

In order to apply these functions to Civil 3D points, it is required to create a link between the Civil 3D Point Group and this software.

This command lets users control which Civil 3D Points are linked to this software for edit control.

Creating Survey Strings automatically creates a Civil 3D Points Link

If the Create Survey Strings command is executed and a Civil 3D Point Group selected, then a link is automatically created between that Civil 3D Point Group and this software.

This command only needs to be run if there is no Survey Strings created and it is required to edit the Civil 3D points only..

Details

Upon selecting the command the following form is displayed:

Point Group
