Include Tab (Point Group Properties Dialog Box)

Use this tab to include points in a point group by point number, description, name, elevation, or by selection.

With Numbers Matching

Includes a point in the point group based on its point number or by selection:

  • 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).
    Note: The comma is a hardcoded separator that does not respect operating system geographical locale settings. For example, the decimal sign in German regional settings uses a comma. In this parameter it is important to remember that the comma is used as a separator of point numbers.
  • 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 project 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, and which fall within the window, are included in the point group.
With Elevations Matching

Includes a point in the point group based on its elevation. Enter any combination of the following, separated by commas:

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

For example, <-100,1-100,110.01,>200 would include all points whose elevations 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

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

With Raw Descriptions Matching

Includes a point in 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 the raw description IPS matches the description IP*.

With Full Descriptions Matching

Includes a point in 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 the full description IPS matches the description IP*.

Include All Points

Includes all points in the drawing in the point group. When the check box is selected, all other options on the tab are disabled.
