• The choices in the Specify Field Located Corners section of the dialog merely make it more convenient to enter the Section & Quarter corners and the 1/16th corners. This choice allows you to enter the corners in order by just typing the point ID of a corner then just press Enter to move to the next corner. You may enter any type of corner located in the field by changing the types of corners selection in the Specify Field Located Corners section.

For each calculated corner, the Saving Point dialog box will be displayed. Depending on the Point Default settings, this dialog may allow you to accept or change the default point ID. Also, depending on the Point Default settings, the description and elevation may also be changed or accepted.
