Survey Figure Properties Dialog Box

Specify or change the figure properties, the site the figure is associated with, and add or edit figure vertices.

Name

Specifies the name of the figure. The figure name can be composed of characters that are number, alpha, or alpha-numeric.

Breakline

Specifies that the figure is used as a breakline (when creating surface breaklines from figures).

Plot Line

Specifies that the figure behaves as a plot segment. When this property is selected and the figure is inserted into drawing, the figure behaves as a plot segment in the site that it is placed on. Figures with this property may create plots and can be labeled as plot segments.

Layer

Specifies the layer that the figure object is placed on when inserting figures into a drawing.

Style

Specifies the style that the figure object uses when inserting figures into a drawing.

Site

Specifies the site for the figure if Plot Lines property is enabled. When inserting a figure into the current drawing, if the site does not exist in the current drawing, it is created. The figure is placed on the specified site

Closed

Specifies whether the figure is closed or open.

Vertices

Displays the number of vertices in the figure.

Length

Displays the length of the figure.

Area

Displays the area of the figure.

Network

Displays the name of the network that the figure is associated with.

Import Event

Displays the name of the import event that the figure is associated with.

Auto-generated

Displays Yes or No to indicate whether the figure was automatically generated.

LandXML

If you are using the extended properties feature, the LandXML elements as defined in the .sdx_def file are displayed. Click the cell in the Value column to assign an attribute.

User-defined

If you are using the extended properties feature, and have created user-defined properties they are displayed. Click the cell in the Value column to assign an attribute.

Editing Tools

Note: The editing tools are not available if the survey figure is vector based. To enable the editing tools for a vector-based survey figure, you can convert it to a chain-based figure using the tool.

Displays the Survey Point Properties dialog box.

Note: This option is not available if more than one row is selected.

Moves the selected row or a selection of rows up in the list of vertices.

Moves the selected row or a selection of rows down in the list of vertices.

Reverses the direction of the selected figure or the order of the selected vertices.

Adds a new vertex to the end of the list.

Inserts a new vertex before the selected row.

Inserts a new vertex after the selected row.

Select points in the drawing to insert as vertices, after the selected row.

Note: This option is not available if more than one row is selected.

Breaks the figure at the selected vertex.

Trims the figure at the selected vertex.

Joins the figure to a selected figure.

Removes a row or a selection of rows from the list of vertices.

Zooms the drawing to the extents of the current figure vertices in the list. The extents can be different than the original figure if you insert or delete rows and then click the Apply button.

Zooms to the selected figure.

Closes the dialog box and zooms to the figure you select in the drawing.

Pans to the figure extents of the selected vertices.

Discards any changes and reloads the figure from the survey database.

List View

Number

Displays the point type icon (for example control point, non-control point, setup) and the point number if the figure vertex is assigned a point ID. You can clear the point number to disassociate the vertex from the referenced survey point (the survey point name column is also cleared). If you clear the point number, you can specify a new point number value or edit the Easting, Northing, and Level columns.

Name

Displays the survey point name if the figure vertex is assigned a point identifier. You can clear the point name to disassociate the vertex from the referenced survey point (the survey point number column is also cleared). If you clear the point name, you can specify a new point name value or edit the Easting, Northing, and Level columns.

Description

Displays the figure description

Geometry

Specify Point, Curve, or Curve-Break.

• Point option. Indicates the figure vertex is a point on a line segment.
• Curve option. Indicates the figure vertex is a point on a curve segment.
• Curve Break option. Indicates that the vertex is a start of a curve segment. Use this option in situations where two non-straight curves share an end and start vertex. The command ends the previous curve and begins a new non-straight curve.

Easting

Displays the Easting value of the vertex. This column is read-only if the vertex is assigned a survey point identifier.

Northing

Displays the Northing value of the vertex. This column is read-only if the vertex is assigned a survey point identifier.

Level

Displays the Level value of the vertex. This column is read-only if the vertex is referencing a survey point.
