To Create a Non-Control Survey Point

Create a point using known northing, easting, optional latitude and longitude, and optional elevation.

To create a non-control point

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click the Non-Control Points collection and click New to open the New Non-Control Point dialog box.
2. Enter the point number. You do not need to assign a point number if auto point numbering is on.
   Important: If there is an Autodesk Civil 3D point with a matching number, then the point information displays in the New Non-Control Point dialog box.
3. Optionally, enter the point name.
   Important: You can define a point by Name, by deleting the number in the Number field and leaving it blank. Enter a Name in the Name field. If there is already a control point or non-control with that name an error message is displayed. If there is a point Survey point with a matching name then the data for that point displays in the New Non-Control Point dialog box. If there is no survey point or non-control point defined in the Survey database that has a matching name, the program checks the active drawing to see if there is an Autodesk Civil 3D point with a matching name. If there is an Autodesk Civil 3D point with a matching name, then the point information displays in the New Non-Control Point dialog box.
4. Enter the easting (X-coordinate) of the new non-control point.
5. Enter the northing (Y-coordinate) of the new non-control point.
6. Optionally, enter the elevation (Z-coordinate) of the new non-control point.
7. Enter a description for the non-control point.
8. Enter the latitude of the point. The Northing property value is calculated from the value entered in this field.
   Note: This property is not available if the survey database does not have an assigned coordinate system zone.
9. Enter the longitude of the point. The Easting property value is calculated from the value entered in this field.
   Note: This property is not available if the survey database does not have an assigned coordinate system zone.
10. Click OK to create the new non-control point. The new control point is displayed in the non-control points list view in Toolspace.
