To key in points

  1. To open the Key in point screen, do one of the following:
    • Tap and select Key in / Points.
    • In the map, tap and hold the location for the point and then select Key in point.
  2. Enter the Point name and, if required, the Code.

  3. To change the method used to key in the point, tap Options and then select the method from the Coordinate view field, and enter any additional details as required.

  4. To set the search class for the point to Control, select the Control point check box. Leave the check box unselected to set the search class to Normal.

    You can change the search class after the point has been stored using the Point manager.

  5. Tap Store.

When keying in points from the map:

  • If you are keying in multiple points, for each point you can tap in the Northing or Easting field in the Key in point form and then tap in the map to define the coordinates for the point. The Coordinate view option must be set to Grid or Grid (local). Grid (local) is available only when the Advanced geodetic option is enabled.
  • If the map is in Plan view (2D), the Elevation field is set to null (?), and a value is optional. If the map is in one of the 3D views, the value in the Elevation field is calculated with reference to the ground plane, surface or IFC file. You can edit this value if required.
  • The Key in point option is not available from the tap and hold menu if you are viewing the map in 3D and the map does not include a ground plane or surface.
