Create Blocks From COGO Points Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to specify a selection of COGO points to use in creating an AutoCAD BLOCK for each Civil point.

Select COGO Points

Spatial Filter

Specifies a filter.

  • None: Uses only those points contained in the point group that is specified under Point Groups.
  • Current Display: Uses the current display to define the spatial selection of points in the drawing.
  • Define Window: Uses a crossing window in the drawing to define the spatial selection of points.
Point Groups

Click to open the Point Groups dialog box, which lists all point groups in the drawing. Specify the point group(s) you want to include in the block creation.

Note: You can select the points to include in the block using both the Spatial Filter and Point Group options. For example, under Spatial Filter you could select the Current Display and under Point Groups you could also include a specified point group(s).

Block Output

Block Creation
  • Use Existing Block: to use this option the block must contain at least three attribute definitions exactly named ELEV, POINT, and DESC. If there are no blocks in the drawing with these exact attributes, this option is not available.
  • Make New Block: specifies a new block and block name. If a block has two or more instances of the same attribute, each instance is filled with the same value.
Block Layer

Specifies the layer the block is placed on.
