Type: Interactive/Batch Application

Plots and labels a control file into the current VrOne Workspace.

Description

Control may be plotted into the current workspace, all open workspaces or a user defined window. Options include the placement of symbols and coordinate text labels.

Parameters

Area to place control (AREA=)

Defines a area to plot control into. Options include the current workspace, all open workspaces or a user define line.

NOTE: Pack File (PacVr) should be done before when using options 0 and 1 to get an accurate workspace boundary

Place symbols? (PLASYM=)

Setting this parameter to yes will place symbols.

Label point names (LABNAM=)

Setting this parameter to yes will place coordinate name text labels.

Label Xy coordinate? (LABXY=)

Setting this parameter to yes will place coordinate North and East text labels.

Label Xy order (LABXYO=)

Specifies the order to label the X and Y coordinates. Options are X then Y or Y then X. From a key-in the options are LabXy=0 (X then Y) or LabXy=1 (Y then X).

Label elevation? (LABZ=)

Setting this parameter to yes will place coordinate elevation text labels.

Decimal accuracy for Xy label (DECXY=)

Defines the number of places to the right of the decimal point for North and East text labels.

Decimal accuracy for Z label (DECZ=)

Defines the number of places to the right of the decimal point for elevation text labels.

Function key for horizontal point symbols (FKEYH=)

Defines the function key name to use for coordinate point symbols that represent horizontal control points.

Function key for horizontal/vertical point symbols (FKEYHV=)

Defines the function key name to use for coordinate point symbols that represent horizontal and vertical control points.

Function key for text labels (FKEYTEX=)

Defines the function key name to use for coordinate text labels.

Coordinate file name to retrieve points from (COOFIL=)

Defines the coordinate file name to use to plot control from. The default file extension for control file is .plc.

Load parameter file (PARFIL=)

Loads previously defined and saved plot control parameter file.

Run Plot Control (RUN)

This is not a parameter but a command and runs this application.

Button Assignments

Find line

When the Id line button is pressed on the Plot Control dialog box this menu is started and allows the identification of a polygon that defines the area to plot control within. The Area to place control (AREA=) must be set to Id line (2) for this line to be used when plotting control.
