Entering coordinates of terrain points based on point numbers

Point snap methods

When drawing elements, you can enter the coordinates of terrain points based on their point numbers.

To enter coordinates of terrain points based on their point numbers

• Check that Global point is selected in the dialog line so that you can enter global coordinates (relative to the origin (= global point) of the CAD system (0,0,0)).

1. Activate a tool where the program expects you to enter a point.
2. Activate the Global X Coordinate data entry box in the dialog line
3. Enter the character ‘#’ followed by the point number in the dialog line and press ENTER to confirm.

   The system snaps to this terrain point.

Note: All the entries you make are based on global coordinates until you switch back to relative coordinates by clicking Delta point in the dialog line. Then the entries you make apply to the last point entered or snapped.
