Entering a point name or number
You can use numeric or alphanumeric names up to 16 characters long to identify points.
The default name for a new point is the last point name entered, with the last digit incremented. For
example, if the last point name was A100, the default name for the next point is A101.
If the last character of the previous point name is alphabetic, the default point name is the last point
name.
When the cursor is in a PT (point) field, there are several ways to specify a point, or enter
coordinates.
Entering an existing point
For example, to enter a point ID in the PT field:
1. Enter PtID in the PT field and then press [REC/ENT].
The system searches for the point ID in internal memory. If
this Point ID exists, its coordinate are displayed.
2. Press [REC/ENT] to return to the screen. The point is selected
and the cursor moves to the next item.
Entering a new point
1. When you enter a new point name or number, a coordinate
input screen appears. Enter the point’s coordinates in NE,
NEZ, or elevation-only (Z) format.
2. Press [REC/ENT] to move to the next item.
3. Press [REC/ENT] on the CD field to store the point in the
current job.
Specifying a wildcard (*)
If you include an asterisk (*) when you enter a point or code name, a list of points that match the
entered text appears. For example:
Wildcard Definition
* All points of any length are found.
A All points with exactly the pointID “A” are found.
A* All points of any length starting with “A” are found (for example, A8, A71, ABDE)
