Feature Alpha Code Read as Part of Linking Code


Product(s):InRoads, MX, GEOPAK
Version(s):08.11.09+
Area: Survey

 

Problem:

Feature Codes that contain an alpha code (such as STEP) are being read as "Start EP" instead of recognizing that STEP is the feature code.

Solution:

Beginning in version 08.11.07.674 a configuration variable was added to force a space between feature code and linking code:

CIVIL_SURVEY_LINK_CODE_IS_SPACE_SEPARATED=1

If this variable is set, a space is required between the Linking Code and the Feature so the linking code is recognized and will not become part of the feature. Example, consider the case of STEP:

Linking codes can be part of a feature with this variable set.
