Bulk Point Editing
With this module you can delete, renumber, or edit the non-coordinate fields of a large group of coordfile points in one go.
To Edit Many Points at Once
- CoordFile | Bulk Edit...
- Choose the subset of Points to edit — All or a Filtered set
(See § Point Filters).
- Choose the editing Action to take:
- Delete to remove points.
- Lock or Unlock to protect or unprotect points.
(When a point is locked, nothing about it can be changed until it is unlocked.)
- Convert to 2D to remove elevation values.
- Re-Number to change point numbers. (You'll be allowed to set a renumbering rule.)
- Re-Name, Re-Code or Re-Note to change points' alphanumeric fields.
Re-Code has a sub-option to replace alphabetic codes with numeric equivalents, as defined in the
Codes Table (see § Point Codes).
- If you are editing an alphanumeric field, enter an update expression (see below) in the box,
to indicate what the new value for the field should be.
- OK.
Update Expression
Currently, the opportunities for specifying how a Name, Code, or Note field should be updated are very limited.
Whatever you enter in the box is what the new value for the field will be.
For example, choosing Re-Note and leaving the box blank is a request to erase the Notes for all currently filtered points.
And choosing Re-Code and typing 24
in the box is a request to set the Codes for all currently filtered points to 24
.
