Trimble Novapoint Help
The function creates scatter data or point lists for selected lines or single points in the drawing.
Run the function from:
Ribbon: Novapoint > Setting Out - from Drawing
When the function is started, a dialogue box appears under the command line.
The first one decides the mode to select the point/lines in the drawing:
Single Points ⇒ single points.
Polylines (vertex) ⇒ breakpoints along a polyline.
Polylines (distance) ⇒ in a given interval along a polyline.
Polylines (segment) ⇒ segment divided polyline.
When Polylines (distance) or Polylines (segment) is used, one gives the distance or number (of segments) in the field Distance or no.
Before selecting points/lines in the drawing, one has to give a Line number (Line no.), Point number (Point no.), and Feature code (F. code).
The selection can also be marked in the drawing with a user-defined symbol. Symbols (AutoCAD blocks) can be chosen to represent the points. The blocks need to have (0,0,0) as an insertion point. In 'Option' one can also define the colors and layers of the permanent marking.
Use 'Select Object»' and pick the points/lines in the drawing. One can delete one or several rows in the drawing by marking them and using 'Delete'. One can turn the marking of the points On/Off with the buttons 'Mark Point' and 'Clear Mark.' It is possible to mark a row in the point list and use 'Pan to Point' to find the point in the drawing.
It is possible to read coordinates from files and mark them in the drawing. File formats are:
TXT
KOF
PXY
GSI (Leica total station)
By this option, you export scatter data to a file. Dile formats:
TXT
KOF

Select this button to draw a table of the point list in the drawing.
Here you control the layout of the table, such as an example font and headlines, in the table.
