The Auto Linework screen is used to set up custom descriptors that
can be used to generate various polylines between points as they are
shot. These features can than be exported and used in the TDS
ForeSight software.
Note: The auto linework information described
below is not written to the raw data file. If
using a conversion routine that only uses a raw
data file, all linework commands must be
manually entered into the raw data file in the
form of a note by using the Ctrl-[B] hotkey.
Description : lists the descriptions defined from
using the
$GG« button, which when used during
data collection, will generate the specified
polyline segment (linework).

each one performs a special function.
•
Asterisk (*) : when a description entry ends with an asterisk,
any description entered during data collection that begins
with the same characters before the asterisk will be joined to
the previous linework entry. For example, if
CURB* were
used as in the screen shown here, and a description for a
point was called CURB5 or CURBSIDE, the line segment
associated with
CURB* would be appended to the previous
line segment.
•
Pound sign (#) : when a description entry ends with a pound
sign, any description entered during data collection that
begins with the same characters before the pound sign will
generate the associated line segment type, but if the next
description is at all different from the previous use, a new
independent line segment will be drawn. For example, if
