This command edits point data in the current coordinate file or
within a point range. The current coordinate file can be set with
the Set Coordinate File command. Edit Points shows all the points
in the coordinate file. New points can be added and points can be
deleted by using the Insert and Delete keys.
In the Edit pull-down menu, there are functions to add and
remove rows from the spreadsheet. Also there are clipboard
functions to copy and paste spreadsheet cell values. The Delete
Range function allows you to delete a range of points or all
the points by entering "ALL" for the range. The Hide
function hides the selected range of spreadsheet rows and the
Show function brings these rows back. The Settings
function has a dialog to control the decimals to show in the
spreadsheet and an option to use a large font in the spreadsheet to
make it easier on the eyes to see.
In the Search pull-down menu, the
Find function searches the spreadsheet. The Replace
function has settings to limit the replace by point number range or
by field type.
The Group > Point Group
Filter function allows you to edit subset collection of points
as defined by Point Group Manager. This Group method is a way to
filter the points by point range, elevation range or
description.
This tool also lets you edit notes associated with each point.
While the standard point description is limited to 32 characters,
the drawing notes are not. When you click on a given point, you can
add numerous lines of notes about that point in the bottom of the
dialog. Keep in mind that these notes are stored in a separate file
with the extension ".not" having the same name as the CRD and
residing in the same folder.
