To Create a New Figure

Create new survey figures by selecting COGO Points, Survey Points, or other positions in the drawing.

In the Figure Properties dialog box, survey point numbers are associated with the vertices, and the point number, point name, and the XYZ values are displayed. For the selected COGO points, XYZ values are displayed and transformed if the coordinate system in the current drawing differs from the current survey database.

1. On the Survey tab in Toolspace, expand <named> survey database right-click Figures collection Create Figure Interactively.
2. In the New Figure dialog box, enter a figure name.
3. In the drawing, select point objects or use a selection window to select the points.
4. Press Enter. The Figure Properties dialog box is displayed with the new figure name and the figure properties match the current figure prefix database. Vertices are defined from the selected point objects or digitized points.
5. Optionally, to edit survey point properties, in the Figure Properties dialog box, click to display the Survey Point Properties dialog box.
