Setting-Out from Drawing

The function creates scatter data or point lists for selected lines or single points in the drawing.

Run the function form the following locations:

Toolbar: Not available from the Toolbar

Menu: Novapoint > Setting-Out from Drawing…

Command Line: Not available from the command line

When the function is started the screen is split in two, as displayed in the figure below:

Points can be selected from the drawing in the following mode:

• 'Single Point' ⇒ single points.
• 'Polyline Vertex' ⇒ breakpoints along a polyline.
• 'Polyline distance' ⇒ in a given interval along a polyline.
• 'Polyline segment' ⇒ segment divided polyline.

The points can be assigned both point number and feature code. The selection can also be marked in the drawing with a user-defined symbol. The result of a selection can be drawn as a table in the AutoCAD drawing or be saved to a file in one of the following formats:

• TXT
• KOF
• PXY
• GSI (Leica total station)

Desired symbols (AutoCAD blocks) can be selected to represent the points and respective point numbers. In addition, color and layer for symbols (points) can be defined for permanent marks.

Here you can load co-ordinates from a file, and have the points drawn in the drawing.

By this option you export scatter data to a file.

This option draws the scatter data in a table that is inserted onto a selectable position in the drawing.

Here you control the layout of the table such as for example font and headlines in the table.
