About Modifying A Large Number of Project Points

Use the procedure described in this topic to make a change, such as a level adjustment or a change to all eastings or northings, to a large number of points in a project.

To change one or more project points, you must check the points out to a drawing, change the points, and check the points back in to the project. When you are working with a large number of project points and do not need to view the points in the drawing while you change them, you can speed up the process by not drawing the point symbols or point labels while the points are in the drawing.

Avoid drawing point labels and point symbols using point label styles and a point group override. The procedure described in this topic suggests using a throw-away drawing for this process, and instructs you to edit the Standard point style and the _All Points point group in the throw-away drawing. If you do not want to use a throw-away drawing, you can modify the procedure to create a point group and a point style you can use for working with large numbers of points.

Before beginning this procedure, you should understand how to work with project and drawing points. For more information, see About Working with Vault Project Points.
