Anybody know of a way to have carlson auto draw all your codes from field to finish.
Ive been setting up a code table and was looking to make sure every code was setup correctly.
Using Carlson 2017 with intellicad 8.2

I exported my codes to a csv in excel and then assigned coordinates for them

when you are in excel, just put coords, 500,500 and 500, 600 for example, then just drag them down so you don;t have to actually type all coords.

Row 1 column 1 pt# column 2 0 column 3 0 column 4
Row 2 column 1 = a1+1 column 2 a2 +100 column 3 0 column 4 0
Copy columns 1 to 4 down as many rows as you have descriptions then use the codes for that you pasted in excel for column 5

No need for a formula really, you can just extend the cells down, and if you select more than one cell, it recognizes the pattern and populates as you drag.

Exactly what I used to do when I used carlson. Each line feature had a begin point and end point, then I can check lines and line types as well.

My lost had every code doubled in the x, with the next pair at the next y. I doubled all my symbols and plain points, but also drew a line for every pair with a line.

Also, the FLD file is a text file with | as a delimiter. Make a few various codes, put that into excel and proliferate your codes without a massive dialogue for each one.

That would be a slick feature. We have 600+ codes

We do not use codes to end the linework. It just stops at the last feature and picks back up when a "B space" appears

Do you have a .fld setup in Survey or a .fcl in the collector? Lately on small jobs I've just exported the .dxf from the collector and open in survey, save as a .dwg, job is drawn with all the right line properties. Haven't setup for symbols yet, the scaling issues get me furious.
