Right now i am in civil 3d world but i watch closely the open roads product. I have seen the most of learn server and wiki videos, i am watching special interest groups session, and also i have a live training of quick start in open roads.
I also have an old ss3 power in roads .exe , which the instructor of the online class gave to me and which allow a 30 day trial.
I cant find a way to download Bentleys products 30 days trial as i can with Autodesk products.
So the last days i install again in an old computer the Power Inroads SS3 and i try to import some survey data.
From the videos and the tutorials from the Learn server i am able to insert a P,E,N,Z,D via survey tab of project explorer using the text import wizard.
So when the points insert into drawing the have a triangular mark that said that the code not find in feature definition.
That not a problem for me. I don't want to use automatic line work. What i want is to control the display of the points.
I understand that feature definition control the display. But what control the display of the points with codes that not found in feature definition.
In native Inroads i found a way to do that under tools - survey options.
But when using The survey tab in project explorer?
In civil 3d i import them as cogo points and i choose the styles. From that points i am able to create surfaces, coordinate tables etc. Also i have the ability to manually create cogo points by a variate ways. If i want automatic linework or process survey data then i use survey points.
I don't see power in roads haw the ability to import cogo points. Maybe i am wrong.
