Creating user-defined attributes for Civil points

Creating a user-defined attribute

1. Launch the CIVILPOINTATTRIBUTES command.
2. Select the points in the drawing to which you want to add a user attribute.
3. Select the Add attribute option in the Command line.
4. Enter the attribute key (attribute name).
5. Enter the attribute value.

Note: The new user attribute is listed in the Civil point Properties panel (1). You can also edit the attribute value here.

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.

1. Launch the BEDIT command.
2. Select the pre-defined Label block, Bsys_civilpoint_label, and click OK.
3. 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.
4. 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.
