Edit Point Data (R3EDITPOINTDATA)

Command: R3EDITPOINTDATA

Interactively views and edits the XData stored on a survey point entity. Used to correct or supplement attribute data on points imported via Smart Strings, or to add legal dimension override values for LandXML export.

Usage

  1. Type R3EDITPOINTDATA
  2. Select the point entity to edit
  3. The command displays all current XData key/value pairs
  4. Enter the key name to edit (e.g. H, A1, Code)
  5. Enter the new value (leave blank to clear the field)

Displayed fields

Common fields shown when a point is selected:

Key Description
PtNo Point number
Code Survey code
H Elevation
A1A8 Survey attributes

Any additional XData keys stored on the entity are also shown.

The following keys, when set, are used as legal dimension values in R3EXPORTLANDXMLNSW rather than the computed geometry:

Key Effect on export
Azimuth Uses this bearing instead of computing from geometry
HorizDistance Uses this distance instead of computing from geometry
DistanceType Populates horizDistance@type in the XML
AzimuthType Populates azimuth@type in the XML
DistanceAccClass Populates horizDistance@class in the XML
AdoptedSurvey Populates adoptedSurvey reference in the XML
FieldNote Populates fieldNote in the XML

R3UPDATELABELS

Command: R3UPDATELABELS

Refreshes linked text labels in the drawing that display XData values from survey points. Run this after editing point data with R3EDITPOINTDATA to update any label text that reads from those XData fields.

R3UPDATELABELS: Updated: 12, Skipped: 0

Notes

  • R3EDITPOINTDATA works on any entity with R3Survey XData, not just DBPoint entities
  • Setting H to blank clears the elevation (Z is set to 0.0 on the entity)
  • After editing, run R3UPDATELABELS if the drawing uses auto-updating labels linked to point data
