Point Creation Methods

(This functionality is available with the Computations module)

If Create/Point has been selected from the Computations task, then selecting the Method menu will provide the following creation methods. The selected method will stay current until another method is selected.

If the function allows a move an existing point may be be selected as the point identifier. In these cases, if an existing point identifier is selected when creating a point, a small dialog will appear which offers several options.

For project with unique identifiers, the options available are:

For project with non-unique identifiers, the options available are:

Important: Refer to the Creation Methods-Special Notes topic and ensure that you are familiar with its contents.
