Control Codes

Description

Create lines, shapes(pipes) or symbols during processing of control codes.

Control Codes
Notes
  • Some control code actions are designed to be used in conjunction with point codes and others can be actioned by a point code.
  • Control codes are codes assigned to control code actions that are not point codes.
  • You can input control codes using:
    • Leica Freecodes - Input a control code as a free code prior to measuring the first point required by the control code.
    • Measurement Codes - Input a control code as part of the measurement code. The control code (and its parameters) must follow the point code it is associated with.
  • You can input most parameters required by a control code action either as
    • an attribute of a Leica free code - Input the required parameter values as attributes of the free code prior to measuring the first point required by the control code.
    • part of the measurement code - Input the required parameters as part of the measurement code. The order parameters are entered must follow the control code actions definition.
    • attributes of the measured point - The attribute name must be defined in the control code definition.
  • Where more than one point is required to execute a control code action, only the first point requires the control code and the remaining points require a matching point code.
  • The default height may be used to compute the height of a point or line created by a control code action.
  • Objects are created on the layer associated with the point code.
  • Select the control code list when you set processing, export or import options.
  • The measurement purpose must be 'New Point' or 'Unknown' for codes to be processed.
