Today focusing on point label style and prefix figure library

As a sample we work with a field book dataset containing pointnumber,x,y,z data and a raw description key containing object type and depth below surveyed surface point

First thing is to setup a point description key set (or extend a existing one) so we can automatically insert different blocks to different surveyed points and make sure we manage the label description the way we like and if necessary scale the blocks accordantly one of the description parameters.
(point description key set saved in the template and managed in the prospector survey tab)

Second thing we need to setup a (or extend a existing one) prefix figure library so we can automatically link the new surveyed figure to a survey figure style. (Prefix Figure library is save outside the drawing as a .fdb file , managed by the survey user settings)

Third thing we need to setup is a survey figure style to draw the line work (figures) on the predefined layers/colours/line width.
(The survey figure style is saved in the drawing file and managed with the prospector settings tab)

As you can see in the different screenshots the surveyed ELEC,FWS and SWS points are displayed according the parameter (points description key) setup

As we use linework commands in the fieldbook and we’ve set a prefix library as current and surevey linework styles we can draw the surveyed lines in the predefined layer/colours/line width

more to come, Chris Berends
