To Use a Reference Record

Reference records are used to create data more quickly. Define one or more reference records for each feature class. These can be used in a workflow. You can:

• Use no reference record.
• Use the last used reference record.
• Use the current record as a reference record.

1. In the AutoCAD Map 3D toolset Maintenance workspace, click the Industry Model Explorer icon. 
2. Expand the Point topic.
3. Right-click the feature class for the reference record you want to create. For example, House Connector.
4. Right-click and click Show Form.
5. In the form, right-click in the background and click Reference Record Add.

   The New Reference Record dialog box is displayed.

6. In the Name field, enter a name, such as Digitized House Connector, and click OK.
7. In Reference Record mode, enter the reference values to be used, such as Accuracy = Digitized.
   Note: If you select the Use the current record as Reference option, the table displays all reference attributes with set values. You can choose any of these attributes to create a new reference record.
8. Click Save.
