To Distribute Coordinates

After the adjustment calculation, the coordinates of the new point features are stored in the Survey document.

You use the Distribute Points function to distribute the coordinates to their target documents, and to the appropriate feature class. The distribution rules and tolerances are defined in the field code list. You either distribute the plane coordinates (easting and northing), the height, or both.

In one distribution process, you can distribute the new points to several feature classes and target documents.

Note:

The target documents must be included in the current project . See also Projects for Survey.

To define the distribution rules in the field code list

1. Start the Field Code List Manager. For example, in the Calculation wizard - Distribute Points, under Configuration, click the Manage Field Code List link.
2. Select the Field Code List.
3. In the Manage Field Code List dialog box, in the Field Code group box, click the Distribution tab.
4. For each field code, define the distribution rules. See Field Code Settings for Distribution.

To distribute points

1. In the Navigation pane, under 7, Calculate Adjustment, select Distribute Points.
2. On the right pane, click Distribute.
3. In the Distribute Coordinate dialog box, configure the distribution. For example, select the points that you want to distribute. See Configuring the Distribution.
4. Click Distribute.

After the distribution, in the Information group box, the distribution report is displayed.

Information group box	Description
Insert Points Failed Insert Points	Displays the number of new points that have been distributed, and how many points could not be inserted. For example, if the target feature class does not exist, or if a feature class is read-only, the point cannot be inserted.
Update Points Failed Update Points	Displays the number of existing points that have been updated, and how many points could not be updated. For example, if the target feature class does not exist, or if a feature class is read-only, the point cannot be updated.
Total	Displays the total number of distributed points.
Show Distributed Coordinates	Opens the Distributed Coordinates tab in the Result dialog box. Click this link to view the status of the distribution, and to view the messages that inform you about any failure. See also Distributed Coordinates.
