Copy Coordinates

This feature allows the user to copy a selected set of points from the current coordinate file to itself or to another coordinate file and, optionally, increase or decrease the point ID by a specified number.

First you must choose the points to be copied:

Add points from coordinate file. (Enter when done)
[All/Block/Code/Desc/Elev/Pt-group/Limits/Radius/Select]: use one of the available methods to specify the set of points to be copied.

Next, you must specify what value to add to or subtract from the point IDs to form the new point IDs.  If you press <Enter> the default is to leave the IDs the same.

Value to add or subtract from point numbers <0>: press Enter to leave the point IDs as they are or enter a positive or negative number.

Next you must specify the coordinate file to which the points are to be copied.

Store coordinates in [Current-file/Existing-file/New-file] <C>: type "C" and Enter or just Enter to copy the specified points into the current coordinate file. Type "E" and Enter to choose an existing coordinate file into which to copy the points or Type "N" and Enter the copy the points to a new file.  If you choose either an existing or new file you will use a file dialog to specify the file to use.

The selected points will then be copied to the specified file.
