Hi,

In VBA the code you need is:

Dim oPoint As AeccPoint
Dim sRawDesc As String
Code to select the point
sRawDesc = oPoint.RawDescription
Code to write the variable sRawDesc to the Object data

To do this without VBA, you can create Blocks with Attributes from the Points and then get MAP to copy the Attribute values to an Object Data Table:

STEP 1:
Points > Utilities > Create Blocks from COGO Points
This creates blocks with attributes of "ELEV" "POINT" and "DESC".

STEP 2:
Create an Object Data table (I called it Point) and create fields to match the attributes - i.e. "ELEV" "POINT" and "DESC".
(Do not attach this table to the blocks - the next step does it for you and transfers the values)

STEP 3:
Map > Database > Generate Links
Select Blocks for Linkage type
Select "create object data records" in data links.
For Table, select "Point" (Or whatever name you specified in step 2)
For Block, Select "Point" (this is the default Block created in Step 1)

Click 'OK'
Select all blocks,

Object Data created.

(If you have added 'user defined property classifications' to your Cogo Points, you are in trouble!)

Export to SDF then mapimport that sdf back in creating the OD as you import.
No coding to do and no creating the OD table taking the chance of
mispelking.
