I'm running Carlson Survey 2013 on AutoCAD 2013 and I have one drawing that shows all points doubled. It's as if the individual point attributes and the point group are both being drawn and one is using a different font. The result is what appears to be two points on top of each other with the attributes slightly offset. I've erased and redrawn points, audited the drawing, did a save as on the drawing and everything else I can think of. All other drawings are fine. Any ideas where the setting is hidden or which file to delete to reset the correct point display?
I had the same thing happen the other day in 12 in one drawing. I never could figure it out. I just selected the points and hit delete as opposed to going through the delpt steps and saving the crd points. I found that the selecting got the offending issues gone and I redrew the points and all was right in the world.
Delete the gremlin! 🙂
Sounds like a corrupted point block or maybe annotative text somehow. I would erase the points and purge the blocks, then locate points again.

It almost sounds like a standard attribute block definition has been re-defined in this one drawing. After erasing the points, purge the drawing of any SRVPNO? blocks (the ? is the Attribute Layout ID) and attempt to re-draw the points.
Thanks all. I finally got it.
I had tried erasing the points manually then purging all blocks, text styles, and groups with no success but I was using Layer Isolate to isolate the PNTS layer prior to erasure. I switched to manually freezing all layers except the PNT, PNTNO, PNTELEV, and PNTDESC then manually erasing the points and purging as above. The second method must've picked up a holdout that was keeping me from purging the necessary blocks.
