This command will edit the attributes of a Carlson point, such as
the symbol type,
point number, elevation and description. When this command is invoked,
the command line will
prompt the user: Select point to edit (Enter to
end). At this point, you can select any part
of the point including the symbol, elevation, point number or the
description. Next, a dialog
will appear as shown.
To change the symbol, either type in a new symbol name in the edit
box, or choose the
"Select Symbol" button where you can choose from a list of symbols. To
change any of the
other properties of the point, simply change or replace the contents of
the edit box with the
new information. Both Drawing Description and CRD File Descriptions are
displayed. When a change to the Drawing description is made, this
change will not be reflected in he coordinate file. This allows
the change of a description that is defined in the Field to Finish
(fld) table for a particular code. If a change is made in the CRD
File description, it will be reflected in the coordinate file. Take
note
that if the CRD file description is changed, running Field to
Finish will change the definitions for the point(s) changed. If
you change the point number to a number that already exists in the
current
CRD file, and point protect is ON, you will be prompted
[O]verwrite w/new coordinates, overwrite [A]ll, or use number
<1000>:.
You can choose to use the next available point number in the
CRD file (this is the default), or overwrite the point number. The
properties that you modify, with the exception of Drawing Description,
will update the current CRD file. All modifications will update screen
entities. Selecting the History button will bring up another dialog box
that displays the point history of the point chosen. A history of the
point will be listed, but only if, under General Setting, the Maintain
CRD History File had been set to ON (selected) for the coordinate file
that you are working with. With the CRD History feature of Carlson, all
point changes can be rolled back.
You may also choose to use the AutoCAD DDATTE command to change the attributes of a point. If you do this, then the CRD file will not be updated and if you change the elevation attribute, the point will not change its current Z location.
