Edit - MDT26This option allows one to change surveying point attributes (ordinal number, code and level), and X, Y and Z coordinates. Other related…
Move - MDT26This command allows one to change a surveying point's position of point (X and Y coordinates). The elevation should be changed with the…
Delete - MDT26This option allows you to delete the drawing points you wish. If there is an active surface, the vertex corresponding to the surface is…
Change Scale - MDT26As is known, objects are drawn in their real dimensions in CAD, that is to say at a scale of 1:1. However, text sizes must correspond with…
Change Elevation - MDT26This command allows one to change the elevation of a set of points. After selecting the points desired, one can either set an Absolute…
Change Level - MDT26Simultaneously changes the level of a point selection. Firstly, the program requests one to select a set of points. The level to which one…
Change Codes - MDT26This command allows one to change the codes of a group of points at the same time. In order to do so, the points are selected first and…
Change Layer - MDT26Initially, the program draws all the surveying points on the same layer. A group of points can be selected with this command. They can…
Change Format - MDT26This command allows one to the change the appearance (format) of a drawing's points. There are three ways of doing so: Overall. Globally…
Change Uncertainties - MDT26This command enables us to edit or delete the uncertainties associated with the points in a drawing. A window appears with the total…
Rotate Points - MDT26If this command is selected, the orientation of the coordinates system of the selected points' coordinate system can be changed. After…
