Code: Code name which will be stored in the points file.

Type: Code type which may be Point or Line. Point type elements are usually associated in the subsequent drawing in CAD with a block (posts, utility boxes etc.) whilst those of the line type are used to connect some points with others by means of polylines.

Layer: Layer on which the corresponding blocks or polylines will be drawn.

Color: Color of the entities drawn.

Symbol: For point type codes reference is made to the symbol which will represent the code in the different graphic options of the application. Each symbol will be drawn on a layer with the code name it represents so that said layer can be managed on the list of layers of the graphic option.
