Points Report
Produces a report in a user specified format of selected points and their attributes.
The results are displayed in a report window. From the report window the results can be sent to the printer or saved as a text file. If the results are too big to be displayed in the report window they will automatically be saved as a .txt file with the name "Data File name_RPx.txt" where the x is incremented starting at A each time a new report is saved. This .txt file will then be opened automatically by the current text editor.
The Report/Points command is selected from the Plan View Utilities task.

A point object must be on a currently displayed group before it may be included in the report. Refer to the Utilities/Display/Groups command.
Points must also be selected for display in the Utilities/Display/Features command before a point report may be generated.
The status of a point in the report is indicated by a letter shown after the point identifier.
| M | Main Point |
| R | Resolved Point |
If a point identifier is not followed by M or R, then it is a duplicate point which is neither a main point nor a resolved point.
