Turn this option on to treat the first word in a point description as a code (this is the default setting). When turned on, the point description 'OAK 14"DBH' will return 'OAK' as a code.
With this option turned off, the point description 'OAK 14"DBH' will not return any code but the point description 'OAK--14"DBH' would return ‘OAK’ as a code and ‘14"DBH’ as a second code (as long as ‘—‘ is the default code delimiter). If a description does not return a code, TPC will not add a code to the Point Codes Manager for that description.
Note: The default code delimiter can be set in the Point Code Settings dialog box but the delimiter for a single survey can be changed at any time in the Update Point Codes Dialog.
Enter the characters that identify a new code in a point description. The default is two dashes '--'.
The point descriptions 'CL--MH' , '--CL--MH' and 'CL HWY126--MH' all return the two codes 'CL' and 'MH'.
You can set the default code delimiter in the Point Code Settings. From any the TPC Desktop, choose Tools | Program Settings and left click the Point Code tab.
