This command sets Carlson point options.
Descriptions: Specify whether you are prompted for a point description when creating points and whether the point descriptions are labeled in the point block.
Elevations: Specify whether you are prompted for a point elevations when creating points and whether the point elevations are labeled in the point block.
Locate on Real Z Axis: When checked, points are located at their actual elevation, otherwise points will be located zero elevation.
Attribute Layout ID: Controls the location of the point number, elevation and description. These attribute layouts are defined in AutoCAD drawings that are stored in the Carlson SUP directory with the file name of SRVPNO plus the ID number (i.e. SRVPNO1.DWG, SRVPNO2.DWG, etc.). If you want to change the attribute positions for a layout ID, then open and edit the associated SRVPNO drawing.
Symbol Name: Enter the default symbol name to use. You may also pick the Select Symbol button to select a symbol from the symbol library.
Prompt for Symbol Names: When checked, you will be prompted for each symbol name instead of using the default symbol.
Point Numbers: When this toggle is OFF, no point number will be created and no points will be stored in the coordinate (.CRD) file.
Automatic Point Numbers: When this toggle is OFF, commands
that locate a point will prompt for a point number. Otherwise,
point numbers are numbered sequentially. If the Start Point
Number field is set to 0, no point will be plotted. An exception to
this
is when you use the Draw-Locate Points command and use
the Range option, then a point entity is plotted.
Elevations Yes Real Z No
Picked Point Labels point, Prompts for elevation, uses 0 for z coordinate
Point Number Labels point, No Prompt, uses 0 for z coordinate
Elevations Yes Real Z Yes
Picked Point Labels point, Prompts for elevation for z coordinate
Point Number Labels point, No Prompt, uses z coordinate from file
Elevations No Real Z No
Picked Point No Label, No Prompt, uses 0 for z coordinate
Point Number No Label, No Prompt, uses 0 for z coordinate
Elevations No Real Z Yes
Picked Point Labels point, No Prompt, uses z coordinate of picked point
Point Number Labels point, No Prompt, uses z coordinate from file
Start Point Number: Specify the next point number to use.
Vertical Angle Mode: Specify how Carlson should prompt you for vertical angles. None means no prompt. Applies to creating points with commands such as Traverse. The vertical angle is used to calculate the point elevation.
Separate Layers: Specify settings for point
attribute layers.
None: The point symbol, point number, elevation and
description use the layer
names PNTMARK, PNTNO, PNTELEV and PNTDESC.
Points: The point number, elevation and description layers are composed by concatenating the point layer and the string NO, ELEV, and DESC respectively. For example, if the point layer is UTIL then the attribute layers will be UTILNO, UTILELEV and UTILDESC.
Symbols: The point symbol layer is composed by concatenating
the point layer and the
string MARK. For example, if the point layer is UTIL then the symbol
layer will be UTILMARK.
Both: The point symbol, point number, elevation and description layers are composed by concatenating the point layer and the string MARK, NO, ELEV, and DESC respectively. For example, if the point layer is UTIL then the symbol/attribute layers will be UTILMARK, UTILNO, UTILELEV and UTILDESC.
Layer for Points: Specify the layer name for Carlson points.
Auto Zoom: When checked, AutoCAD will perform a Zoom|Center
around new points to keep
the display centered around current working area. This only applies
during commands such
as Traverse. This setting is also available in Configure
under General Settings where it is called Auto Zoom Center for New
Points.
Use Field to Finish For: Allows you to use the code definitions
from Field to Finish for the Point Symbols, Layers, Descriptions,
Attribute Layout IDs and whether to locate the point on the "Real Z"
and whether to Separate Attribute Layers when creating new points. For
example, when creating a point
with description "EP", Carlson would look up "EP" in the Field to
Finish table and will use the
field code definitions to establish the point instead of the
definitions defined in Point Defaults.
GIS File: This option lets you specify a GIS file to be used when creating new points. The GIS file contains a list of fields to prompt for. For each point that is created, the program will prompt for these fields and store the results to the note file (.not) associated with the current CRD file.
