Survey Point Properties Dialog

The Survey Point Properties dialog is available from many places within TPC. It lists the properties of one survey point at a time.

Depending on the context, you can edit the point label, description, coordinates, point symbol, symbol size and rotation and other survey point properties.

Point

The point label for this point. If you enter a new point label, it must abide by the point labeling rules within TPC. As a result, TPC may display a warning about the point label you enter and provide appropriate options.

Next Label

Increments the current point label until it finds a unique (unused) label. A point label like 100 would increment to 101. A point label like 100-1 would increment to 100-2. If the current point label is unique, TPC does not increment the label.

Description

The point description for this point.

X,Y,Z

The coordinates of the point based on the current survey grid (if any).

X/Y Protected

Indicates whether or not the coordinates are protected.

Z Protected

Indicates whether or not the elevation is protected.

Topo

Indicates whether or not this is a topo point.

Symbol

Select an overriding point symbol, or None to allow Drawing Settings and Traverse Settings to determine which symbol to use for this point.

None

Turns off the point symbol override, allowing Drawing Settings and Traverse Settings to determine which symbol to use for this point.

Rotation

Specifies a rotation for this symbol, if you have selected an overriding point symbol. Clock-wise rotation is positive. Counter clock-wise rotation is negative.

List Traverses

Lists the traverses that contain this point in the Message View.

Plot

Appends this point to the ’Point Plot’ traverses, forcing it to the included in the current drawing.
