I have used Carlson's Field to Finish infrequently over the years, but one of the problems that I have always had with it is the way the point node and symbol are grouped together which makes it difficult to work with. I noticed another thread ([msg=245341]Carlson 2004 Field to Finish Problem[/msg]) with the similar problem, but that was on AutoCAD and it does not appear to work the same on my Carlson 2013 Intellicad version. I can only ungroup one entity at a time (not very efficient)
Here is a typical point code setting in my F2F Library.
Is there something I am missing here? Is there a way for the symbols to come in ungrouped from the get go?
Try this: First run your F2F with all items to be drawn, ie, points,lines and symbols. Then do an "erase points". The synbols will disappear too. Then rerun F2F , but unselect the points so that you are drawing ONLY the symbols and the line work. That should break the link that you do not like.
Control H or toggling the pickstyle variable will turn grouping off/on as needs be.

Also be sure that PDMODE=0

OK, that works for me. Just unchecking the points solves the problem. Then I can use the standard Draw/Locate Points command to draw the point nodes, which I like better than the way F2F handles point nodes anyway. Thanks,
