View Points and Chains
Menu: Survey / View Points/Chains
The View Points/Chains tool provides a comprehensive overview of all surveyed points and chains stored in the Vision database. It allows users to view, edit, organize, export, and manage surveyed points and polylines efficiently.
Key Differences from "Enter Points/Chains" Window
✔ Displays all points in the Vision database (not just stitched points).
✔ Allows exporting all points to LandXML, DXF, or CSV formats.
✔ Supports point and chain grouping for better data management.
1. Managing Points & Chains
✔ Right-click on a point or selection of points for additional options:
Modify PCode (Point Code) and line number.
Add attributes to an individual point.
Edit X, Y, Z coordinates manually.
Add notes and series of PCodes.
Use "Coordinate Stitch XYZ" to reposition points.
Move points up or down within a chain.
✔ Selecting Multiple Points:
Click a point (turns yellow when selected).
Hold Shift and click another point to select a range.
Perform batch deletion or modifications on selected points.
✔ Searching for Specific Points:
Use the search bar at the top-right of the table.
Enter search terms to locate matching points.
Press Enter multiple times to cycle through results.
2. Customizing Point Labels
✔ Modify point label size on the main screen:
Go to Menu: Settings / View / Point Labels.
Adjust the main screen text size for better visibility.
3. Saving & Exporting Data
✔ Save Changes – Ensure modifications to points are stored in the database.
✔ Export Formats:
CSV – For spreadsheet-based applications.
DXF – For CAD software (AutoCAD, Civil 3D, etc.).
LandXML – For civil engineering and GIS applications.
✔ Creating Alignments from Polylines
Click "Create Alignment" to convert a polyline into an alignment.
Assign a line number as an alignment reference.
The alignment will be accessible under:
