Renumber Points

This feature allows you to renumber the point IDs of a range of points in the current coordinate file.  The point IDs will be renumbered sequentially.  If the renumbered points have been previously plotted to the drawing, the points will be redrawn to reflect the changed point IDs.
When you choose this menu item, the following dialog box appears:
Point ID range to renumber:
Specify the range of point IDs you wish to renumber.  Use the Point IDs Used and Point IDs Available lists to help you determine the appropriate range.

New Starting point ID:
Specify the new starting point ID for the range specified.  The specified range of points will be renumbered sequentially starting with the New Starting point ID.

OVERWRITE Existing Points
If you check this check box and, in the process of renumbering the points, the new point ID is the same as an existing point in the coordinate file, the point will be overwritten.  However, if you do not check this checkbox and a possible overwrite is detected, you will be informed of the possible overwrite and required to check this checkbox before proceeding. If you do not wish to overwrite existing points, either re-specify the New Starting point ID or click the Cancel button.

To proceed with the renumbering click the OK button.

Note: this feature will only renumber points in a coordinate file in which all point IDs are numeric.  Thus you can renumber the points in Carlson and C&G alphanumeric coordinate files only if all the point IDs are numeric.
