Edit the Point ID for a Station Setup and/or Backsight

When checking data in your project, you might find that the point ID for a station setup and/or backsight has been incorrectly labeled in the field. For example, the Plan view looks incorrect or a red flag indicates a point out of tolerance.

Prerequisites:

• station setup and/or backsight

To change the point ID for a station setup and/or backsight:

1. To change the point ID for a station setup:
   1. In the Imported Files node in the Project Explorer, click to display properties in the Properties pane for the station setup whose point ID you want to change.

      Note: You can right-click the Imported Files node in the Project Explorer and select to sort the imported files either by their name or by the order in which they were imported, providing two options to more easily locate any imported file.

   2. In the Point ID box in the Properties pane, type the correct ID for the station setup.

      If the corrected ID is for a station you set up on previously or to a control point, no new point is created in the Points node (the station point is shared). Otherwise, a duplicate point is created in the Points node (local points are not shared). In this case, merge them as described in Merge Points.

2. To change the point ID for a backsight:
   1. In the Imported Files node in the Project Explorer, click to display properties for the observation to the backsight whose point ID you want to change.
   2. In the Point ID box in the Properties pane, type the correct ID for the backsight observation. The software updates the backsight with the new point ID.

      If the corrected observation is to a station you set up on previously or to a control point, no new point is created in the Points node (the station point is shared). Otherwise, a duplicate point is created in the Points node (local points are not shared). In this case, merge them as described in Merge Points.

3. Verify your corrections.
