About Point Description and Code Matching for Exported LandXML Data

Match the AutoCAD Civil 3D description information with LandXML attributes. Use the Code Attribute and Desc Attribute property groups on the Export tab of the LandXML Settings dialog box.

You can either disable or match the ‘code’ attribute in LandXML to a point’s description:

• Disabled: Does not export a point description to the ‘code’ attribute.
• Raw Description: Exports a point raw description to the ‘code’ attribute.
• Full Description: Exports a point full description to the ‘code’ attribute.

Note: Typically, you would export the raw description to the ‘code’ attribute.

You can either disable or match the ‘desc’ attribute in the LandXML to a point’s description:

• Disabled: Does not exports a point description to the ‘desc’ attribute.
• Raw Description: Exports a point raw description to the ‘desc’ attribute.
• Full Description: Exports a point full description to the ‘desc’ attribute.

Note: Typically, you would export the full description to the ‘desc’ attribute.

You can also specify whether to export the full description if it is the same as the raw description. For example, if the raw and full descriptions are the same, then only one value is exported. This would occur when points do not have defined description keys.
