Point Lists
You can list details of a set of points directly from the menu (via CoordFile | List Points) or from various modules.
The Points List dialog allows some control over the nature the list that will appear in the
§ Info Display file.
Selection
Which points get output?
The options are
Order
What's the output sequence?
The options are
- Numerical — by point number.
- Chronological — by when created.
Format
Which attributes get output?
(See Point Record Fields in § Point Records.)
The eight options are
- Number, Name, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Code, and Note.
- Number, Name, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Code, Lock, Source, and Modified.
- Number, Name, Northing, Easting, Elevation, and Description.
- Number, Name, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Code, and Desc.
- Number, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Code, and Description.
- Number, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Code, Desc, and Note.
- Number, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Code, Desc, and Extension.
- Number, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Description, and Extension.
All but the last format option can be further modified by checking the
Hide Name or Hide Code boxes to omit the name or code fields.
Notes
-
To use Format options 3 – 8, be sure to select a valid Codes Table which should contain a Description, Type and Desc for each point code.
(See § Point Codes.)
- If the Codes Table has no Descs, truncated Descriptions will be used instead.
- In option 2,
- Lock indicates if the point is locked (via an
L
on output),
- Source identifies the module or program which created the point, and
- Modified identifies the module which last changed the point
(see Src/Mod Codes in § Point Records).
- Decimals controls the precision of listed coordinates. Note that this setting is global (i.e., it affects various other modules that display or list coordinates and distances.)
- Prepend file header begins the listing with the coordfile head data
(which can be edited via CoordFile | Edit Head...).
- Append file summary ends the listing with the coordfile summary:
- Point count
- Point numbers used
- Minimum and maximum northings, eastings and elevations
- Point numbers not yet used
