To Work With Survey Styles

Use the survey styles to control the way that survey networks and figures are displayed in a drawing.

The survey styles are accessed and managed on the Settings tab in Toolspace, where you can create, edit, copy, and delete them.

There are two survey-related styles:

• Network styles. Include display control for survey network components, including known and unknown control points, non-control points, sideshot lines and sideshot points, direction lines, network lines, error ellipses, and tolerance error points and lines. You can also control the network marker styles and 3D geometry display.
• Figure styles. Include display control for survey figure components, including plan and model markers, and 3D display.
