Point name not found.
When attempting to create an alignment using the syntax "1 S2 3 C4R 5 S6 7 8", error message "point name not found" is returned.
By default the variable Alphanumeric Point Names is checked off on the Variable Manager. When it is checked off, Create/Edit Alignment by Cogo Points uses the legacy syntax (1 S2 3 C4R 5 S6 7 8). When the variable Alphanumeric Point Names is checked on, Create/Edit Alignment by Cogo Points uses a new syntax (1 <SPI> 2 3 <CPR> 4 5 <SPI> 6 7 8). The new syntax uses the following special delimiters:
<CPL> is used to delimiter a circular curve’s center point for a left hand curve. Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.
<CPR> is used to delimiter a circular curve’s center point for a right hand curve. Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.
<POC> is used to delimiter a circular curve’s mid-point (this is a point that is anywhere on the circular arc and not the start or end points). Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.
<SPI> is used to delimiter a clothoid spiral’s point of intersection. Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.
The new syntax has the following limitations:
This solution does not support transpositions of the alignment definition, the “T” delimiter. You can easily transpose the alignment with the Transpose Alignment command.
This solution does not include a range of names, 1-100.
Point names can not contain any leading, embedded or trailing white-space characters.
