Point Labels on Breaklines

When I import a survey with coded breaklines I get a vertex markers along the breakline but no annotation of these points appears on the screen.

How can I get these labels to show up upon import?

What do you mean by "show up"?  Are you wanting to have cogo points at these locations?

I would like the vertices on the breaklines to appear like the the rest of the points in the file (coded points such as n/g, etc.)

These are breaklines shot in the field with codes present in the feature prefix database.

It sounds to me like you need to adjust the order of your point groups.  If a point falls in multiple groups (very common) then the first group in the list controls how it's displayed (or NOT displayed).  See the following screenshot.  The point group labeled "No Display" is set to not show points and it includes ALL points.

 

Because it's first in the list, I won't see ANY points.  But if I were to move "Ground" up above that group, then any points within the Ground group would be shown.

EDIT:  I forgot to mention this -- to change the order of the groups, you need to goto Toolspace>Prospector and right click on "Point Groups" then click on "Properties.

Don-

 

The breaklines were shot with the ng shots in one point group. This group is at the top of the list. <Off> is at the bottom of the list.

Ok.  Next thing to look at is the display settings for that group. 

 

Toolspace>Propsecter>Expand Point Groups>{RIght click on the group}>Properties

 

Look at both "Point Style" and "Point Label Style".  The first one is the tick mark or other symbol for the actual point and the second one is for the text that describes it.

 

What style is assigned?  Now edit the style (click the button next to the style name) and go to the display tab.

 

There'll be a number of "Components" listed.  There is a "Visible" column with a light bulb:  Yellow = on and gray = off.  Are they on as you need them?  What layer(s) are they on?  (if the component visilbility is set properly, then after getting out of here, you'll need to check the layer(s) on/off status.

 

Also before closing the properties:  check the "Marker" tab.  Is the point set to display a BLOCK?  If so, could the elements within that block be on layers that are frozen and/or off?

One more thing to check.

 

Individual points can be set to override the point group's style settings.

The display for the point label was not turned on.
