This command changes the layer and optionally the color of
Carlson points. The points are initially put in the layer set in
Point Defaults. The symbol, point number, elevation and description
are in the layers PNTMARK, PNTNO, PNTELEV, and PNTDESC. To change
the point attribute colors, this routine creates new attribute
layers based on the new layer name. For example if the new layer
name was TRAV, then the resulting layers would be TRAVMARK, TRAVNO,
TRAVELEV and TRAVDESC. These new layers can be given different
colors. To select an attribute color, pick on the color button. To
permanently change attribute colors, edit the drawing SRVPNO1.DWG
in the Carlson SUP directory. To permanently change a symbol color,
edit the symbol drawing itself.
The selection of the points to change can be accomplished in
three ways. A number range selection would require the input of the
range of points to change. An example would be 1-20,25,30, 32-36.
Points groups can also be used as a selection method. Simply
specify the point group name to change, when prompted, and all the
points included in that group will be changed. The final selection
method is that of Pick Points. Using this method a prompt to select
objects is displayed. When prompted select the points to change
from the screen.
