    Survey Database - Imported Points are being assigned a very high point #

    When I import points from a survey database there is a very large new number being assigned to points that have overlap/numbering conflicts.

    I had some survey from one source that was in the 1000 pt # range & additional survey that was in same numbering sequence.

    When importing the points I chose "Resolve all" it is renumbering the Point number value to the 5xxxxxxxx range?

    Is there some setting where I can change this to a lower # or does anyone have any insight into how/why this is happening?

    Next Point Number value @ Settings Tab>Point>Commands>CreatePoints>Point Identity>Next Point Number = 3.

    I've attached a couple of captions illustrating the issue.

    Any help is apopreciated,

    Check you point file to see if there are not points that have alphanumeric point numbers, this is generally what causes the problem you are exhibiting in my case. The database is trying to parse the data being imported and assigns an of the wall number.

    rl_jackson,

     

    Attached is the Point file that was added & "Resolve All" option was used for.

     

    Sounds like a fairly common  / known issue though?

     

    I have seen it a number of times but this only seems to happen when I have C3D attempt to renumber overlapping point ranges.

     

    Thanks,

    HI,

     

    I imported yout point file, but I not have conflict. Yout use only this point file?

     

    Ou you have another existing points in your drawing?

     

    If, your have another points, please review your point file.

     

    Thanks

    Adriano,

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Yes there are other points allready in drawing whith overlapping point #'s. Sorry I should've posted both files at once.

     

    Points Initial.txt imported first, Points.txt second (choosing "Resolve All" option.
