Adjust the point data in a defined figure. After you enter the adjusted data, you can update and rename the figure.
The Figures Editor, which is accessible in the SurveyToolspace, provides a centralized way of editing and managing figure data.
Figures that are created using a Linework Code Set do not automatically update when you modify survey data by updating figures, changing survey point descriptions, editing point coordinates through changes in observations, or network and traverse adjustment. In order to obtain the most accurate results, it is recommended that you process the linework each time you make modifications to the survey data. For more information, see Processing Survey Linework.
Tutorial Exercise: Editing a Figure
Topics in this section
- Editing Figures from the Toolspace
Use the SurveyToolspace to view and edit figure data for either multiple figures or an individual figure.
- Editing Survey Figure Vertices
Expand the Survey Figure Properties dialog box where you have editing options for each figure vertex displayed in the list view.
- Browsing to a Figure
Browse to a figure in the Figures collection on the Survey tab in Toolspace.
- Updating Survey Figure Objects
- Updating Survey Figure Data

You can change the name of a figure.
- Redrawing Adjusted Figures
You can redraw all the defined figures in your survey database based on the current point coordinates.
- Offsetting a Figure
You can offset an existing figure by a specified distance. A positive value indicates an offset to the right; a negative value indicates an offset to the left.
- Ending a Figure
Use the End command to disable the DRAW mode. After you disable the DRAW mode, you can use commands not related to the figure, such as commands to add points or plot the drawing.
