I think this should be an easy thing to do, but I am having problems figuring it out. I need to repath the location of a point file being used in a surface. My surface will not rebuild because it can't find the point file originally used. Drawing was used on a different computer system, so the point file directory is now pointed to the wrong path.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie

I don't have a file with an attached point file right now. Can you open the Surface definition on the Prospector tab of the Toolspace What happens if you right click on the point file? Have you tried reattaching the point file?

When I open up the prospector, it shows my surface is out of day with the yellow caution triangle. When I click on the definition tab, it shows the point file that it is looking for, but it is pathed to the wrong directory. If I add the same point file again, it does not associate the breaklines or any of the information linked with the incorrectly pathed file to the new one. It wants me to add all the information again and still will not rebuild the surface.
There doesn't appear to be a way of remapping a point file used in a surface definition.
You can delete it and add it back into the definition but it sounds like you don't have original point text file?

If a Survey Database was used and you have the sdb you should be able to set the working folder for Survey Database.
Are these points in the drawing? There's multiple ways you could use them if they are.
What was the source of the original linework? dwg cad entities, or survey figures from a survey database?
