Exclude Tab (Point Group Properties Dialog Box)

Use this tab to exclude points from a point group by point number, description, name, level, or by selection.

With Numbers Matching

Excludes a point from the point group based on its point number or by selection. Select the check box and do one of the following:

• Enter point numbers or ranges of point numbers separated by commas. Specify a range of point numbers by separating the beginning and ending numbers with a hyphen (for example, 100-105).
• Click Selection Set In Drawing and select points from the drawing using standard AutoCAD selection techniques.
• Click Project Points In Window and define a window by specifying two points in the drawing. The northing and easting coordinates of the window corners are used to determine which project points are contained in the window. All points in the project to which the drawing is attached that are within the window are excluded from the point group.

With Levels Matching

Excludes a point from the point group based on its level. Enter any combination of the following, separated by commas:

• An individual level
• A greater than sign (>) followed by a level. Excludes all points with a level above the specified value
• A less than sign (<) followed by a level. Excludes all points with a level below the specified value
• A level range, which is specified by separating the beginning and ending numbers with a hyphen (for example, 1-100). Excludes all points with a level that falls within the range

For example, <-100,1-100,110.01,>200 would exclude all points whose levels meet one of the following criteria: less than -100, equal to or between 1 and 100, equal to 110.01, or greater than 200.

With Names Matching

Excludes a point from the point group based on its name. Enter one or more point names separated by commas.

With Raw Descriptions Matching

Excludes a point from the point group based on its raw description. Enter one or more raw descriptions separated by commas, for example IP*,GB*,TREE,STA.

The asterisk (*) is a wild card that matches any string. For example, the code IP* will match all raw descriptions that begin with IP, so a raw description IPS matches the description IP*.

With Full Descriptions Matching

Excludes a point from the point group based on its full description. Enter one or more full descriptions separated by commas, for example IP*,GB*,TREE,STA.

The asterisk (*) is a wild card that matches any string. For example, the code IP* will match all full descriptions that begin with IP, so a full description IPS matches the description IP*.
