Hi all

Is there a way to show the names of user selected datum points in drawing views?

Point Names coming from point cloud as these:

Can be listed in hole table like this:

but should as well showing up on a drawing view unlike this, because here I cannot specify the location by my self and I can not deselect unused points.

and I do not like to activate the option, becaus this is a user setting and the names need to be on the drawing all the times.

Does any body know a way to do it in a way that the names in the point cloud is linked to the name on the drawing view?

Many thanks in advance for your inputs.
Pius

Note that these tags can be collected on a layer:

Then the visibility of that layer can be controlled on the drawing views, etc.

However, I don't know of a way to define position of these tags on the drawing...

    Hi,

    I am using a mapkey which copies the name of the point to a note.

    When selecting the point, the name is copied to the note and placed on the drawing. The note can be dragged to any position. After placing all the notes I hide the layer.

    One disadvantage, this is plain text, so if the point name changes the note will not be updated.

     

     

    Mapkey action

    mapkey actions:
    1- note with leader
    2- user has to select datum point (do not use pick from list, only selection on screen is possible)
    3- call script
    script will copy the text from the message log and paste the data in leader note
    mapkey will repeat, end mapkey with ESC button.

     

    The script (created by AutoIT) is a keyboard sequence converted to .exe otherwise the copy paste is not working.
