Question:
Can you provide an example of the linking codes available in OpenRoads Survey?
Answer:
The link above contains zip file that has an example DGN/CSV file that demonstrates each of the linking codes available in OpenRoads Survey. Contents include:
- Point-Coding-LIVE.dgn - DGN file containing a fieldbook imported from the CSV file.
- point-coding.csv - ASCII point file to demonstrate linking codes
- 0point-coding.tiw - TIW file used to import CSV file
Below is a clip from the Help file explaining the various linking/control codes:
Linking Codes
|
Start |
begins creating a Linear Feature |
|
StartPC |
starts a linear feature in Arc Mode |
|
ArcPC |
specifies the beginning of a tangential arc or curve within a Linear Feature |
|
NonTanPC |
specifies the beginning of a non-tangential arc or curve within a Linear Feature |
|
ArcSingle |
creates a three point arc with previous and next points (does not work at beginning or end of a Linear Feature) |
|
ArcToArc |
ends previous tangent arc and begins another tangent arc (must be preceded by ArcPC) |
|
NonTanPT |
specifies the end of a non-tangential arc or curve within a Linear Feature |
|
ArcPT |
specifies the end of a tangential arc or curve within a Linear Feature |
|
ArcToggle |
toggles between NonTanPC and NonTanPT (depends on pairing) |
|
End |
ends the linear feature (not necessary in most cases) |
|
CloseShape |
closes the ends of the linear feature by adding right angle at both ends and intersecting |
|
Close |
closes the Linear Feature back to the first point |
Control Codes:
Control codes must be assigned after the Field code. Control codes can only be Alpha values.
Control and Linking codes can both be used on the same point as long as the Control code is last.
Control codes must be separated from the Field or Linking code with a space.
|
CircleDiameter |
draws a circle of specified diameter around this point (must be within Linear Feature) |
|
CircleRadius |
draws a circle with specified radius around this point (must be within Linear Feature) |
|
RectangleWidth |
draws a rectangle from two points and specified width (must be within Linear Feature) |
|
TapeDistance |
applies field measured distances to the Linear Feature. All measurements are applied 90 degrees from previous segment. Positive values turn right, and negative values turn left. (must be within Linear Feature) |
|
JoinPoint |
joins this point to specified point name (does NOT have to be in linear feature) |
|
NewTemplate |
same as InRoads TMPL Consecutive Start codes will get this linear feature paralleled and translated based off of initial points |
|
Elevation |
sets the Elevation of this point |
|
UpDown |
changes final elevation coordinate of point by value entered |
|
LeftRight |
changes final coordinate of point by adjusting left (-) or right (+) of measured observation by value entered |
|
FrontBack |
Changes final coordinate of point by adding or subtracting a distance from the measured distance |
|
AttributeName |
one method of getting attributes for a point (pairs with Value) |
|
AttributeValue |
One method of getting attributes for a point (pairs with Name) |
|
AttributeArray |
one method of getting attributes for a point (Names and Value in array) |
|
TerrainSpot |
include in DTM as spot |
|
TerrainNoSpot |
do not Include in DTM |
|
TerrainBreak |
include in DTM as break |
|
TerrainNoBreak |
do not include in DTM |
