You can perform point access control operations, such as checking in and checking out points, in several locations in the Prospector tree.
When you select multiple points and perform a project management operation on them, the operation is performed only on those points to which it applies. For example, if you select a list of points in the Points list view and use the Check In command to check them in, only the points you checked out are checked in.
In addition, Survey points that are created using the Prospector Survey tab are not included in project management commands even if they are selected. For example, any Survey points included in the selection list during the Add to Project command are not added to the project.
You can access point-related project commands using list view context menus or using point groups, as described below:
- If you already have a copy of a project point in a drawing, use the context menu in the Prospector drawing Points list view to check in, check out, protect, or get a copy of the point.
- If you do not have a copy of the point in a drawing, use the context menu in the Prospector project Points list view to check in, check out, protect, or get a copy of a point.
- If you have point groups defined in the drawing, right-click a point group in the Prospector tree and use the point group context menu to check in, check out, protect, or get copies of project points.
In some cases, only valid project management commands are displayed on a context menu. For example, if a set of points are not available for check out, the Check Out command might not be displayed, but the Get From Project command would be displayed so that you can get a read-only copy of the point. In some cases, a drawing must be saved before project management commands are available.
