Creating user-defined attributes for Civil points
Creating a user-defined attribute
- Launch the CIVILPOINTATTRIBUTES command.
- Select the points in the drawing to which you want to add a user attribute.

Displaying a user-defined attribute on selected Civil points in a drawing
This section describes the procedure to add a new user attribute (attribute name: user-attribute) to an existing Civil point Label block. You can add the user attribute to a new user Label block in the same way.
- Launch the BEDIT command.
- Select the pre-defined Label block, Bsys_civilpoint_label, and click OK.
- Insert the text and type the attribute name: <user-attribute>, or similar. Insert the Attribute Definition and type the attribute name in the Value field in the Properties panel, to display the user-attribute name in a drawing. You can also use the text of an existing attribute (using the COPY and PASTE commands) and edit it accordingly.
- Save the block in the Block editor.
Note: The value of a user attribute is automatically displayed
on Civil points to which the Symbol block, that was edited in a previous step,
is assigned.
Note: Launch the REGEN command to refresh the Civil point
labels in a drawing.
