The Points Manager manages all of the points in the survey. It lists the points in the survey, sorted numerically and alphabetically. You can also sort by Northing, Easting, Elevation, or Description or combine them for multi-level sorts.
Use the Points manager to select certain points for printing or exporting. Use the search and replace tools to update point descriptions, enter corrected elevations, re-label points and lots more.
Adding Points
Points are typically added to a survey outside the Points Manager. As you add points to a traverse in the Traverse View, those points are added to the Points Manager as they become part of the survey. Many COGO routines also create new points which show up in the Points Manager.
You can choose Tools | Insert Point to create a new point in the Points Manager. Once you enter a point name (label), the Points Manager will reposition the point in its sorted order based on its new name.
Deleting Points
When you delete a point from the Points Manager, you are deleting it from the survey. To make sure you don't accidentally delete a point that is being used, TPC keeps track of how many times that point is used elsewhere in the survey in the point Count. You can turn the Count column on be editing the Points Manager format choosing Tools | View | Format View.
Editing Points
You can edit points directly in the Points Manager. If you need to update an elevation, just type it in the Elevation column for that point. You can edit a point's name, description and coordinates the same way.
Relabeling Points
From Tools -> Modify Points -> Relabel Points, you can relabel all points in the survey or points selected from the points manager. More information under Related Topics.
Point Properties
To look at the properties of an individual point, select that point in the Points Manager then choose Tools | Point Properties. TPC displays the Survey Point Properties dialog. Make any changes to the point just like you would in the Points manager.
Formatting the Points Manager
To add or remove columns in the Points Manager, choose Tools | View | Format View. TPC displays the Points Manager Format dialog. Add or delete characters from the Display Sequence to add or remove columns from the Points Manager. Note that the characters are case-sensitive and must be entered as shown in the table on the right. Choose OK to apply the changes. TPC will remember how you set it for future projects.
