To enter attribute values when measuring a point
-
Enter the point name and select a code. If the code has attributes, the Attrib softkey appears in the Measure screen.
Feature codes that have attributes have an attribute icon () next to the feature code in the library.
-
To make the attribute form appear when a point is stored for which there are required attributes but no value has yet been entered, tap Options and select Prompt for attributes.
When Prompt for attributes is enabled:
- If you already entered attributes by tapping the Attrib softkey, you are not prompted for attributes.
- If attributes that are set as required are assigned a default value in the feature library, you are not prompted for attributes.
- To enter attributes, tap the Attrib softkey.
- To select the default attribute values, tap Options and select:
- Last used to use the attribute values for the last measured point
- From library to use the default attribute values from the feature library
- Enter the attributes of the point you are measuring.
- Tap Store.
