Point Synchronization: To Edit Points Using Autocad Land Desktop Commands

The document provides instructions for editing points in AutoCAD Land Desktop and synchronizing points between drawings and databases. It discusses using commands like Move and Erase to edit points in drawings, and the Modify Project command to update the database. When drawings and databases are out of sync, the Check Points commands can add, remove, or modify points to match. Point groups let users organize collections of points for selection during editing and terrain modeling without manually choosing each time.

To edit points using AutoCAD Land Desktop commands

Steps Use to locate

1 With points in the drawing (or in the point database only), Editing Points choose a point editing command, such as Move, from the Points Edit Points menu. 2 Select the points you want to move. 3 Select a base point and a point of displacement to move the point(s). Move Objects

To edit points using CAD commands


Steps 1 With points in the drawing, select an editing command, such as ERASE, and select the point to edit. Use to locate

ERASE Command

2 After you edit the points, choose Modify Project from the Updating the Project Point Points Check Points menu to update the project with Database with Drawing Point the changes that you made to the points in the drawing. Information 3 In the Modify Project Database Points from Drawing dialog box, select the options to modify the project, and then click OK.

Point Synchronization
In some situations the project points may not match the drawing points. For example, the project database does not match the drawing points when you do any of the following:

Use commands such as ERASE or COPY to modify the points. Edit points in the drawing and database, and then quit the drawing without saving it. Restore an old version of a drawing. Edit points in one drawing and then open another drawing that contains the same points.

To change the drawing so that it matches the project point database, or to change project points to match the drawing, you can use the Check Points commands on the Points menu. You can use these commands to

Add project points to a drawing, or remove them from a drawing, so the drawing matches the project. Add points in the drawing to the project, or remove points from the project that are not in the drawing, so the project matches the drawing.

For example, if more than one person is working on the project and adding points to the point database, then the points in the drawing may not match the project points. You can update the drawing with the project points by using the Modify Drawing command from the Points Check Points menu. The following illustration shows the options available when you use this command:

Working with Point Groups


Point groups are named collections of point numbers that you can select when you edit and insert points and when you use points as surface data in the Terrain Model Explorer. By saving a collection of points to a group, you do not need to manually select the points each time you perform an operation. A point group does not store point information; the point database always handles point storage. The point group feature can help you organize the points into smaller, more manageable groups. To create and manage point groups, use the Point Group Manager, shown in the following illustration. Access the Point Group Manager by choosing Point Group Manager from the Points Point Management menu.
