The asterisk is a wild-card character. The asterisk causes any imported point with a description code that begins with POND, followed by any other characters, to be handled according to the settings in this table row. 3 In both the Style and Point Label Style columns, clear the check box to deactivate these settings. Clearing these settings allows you to control these settings by using point group properties. NOTE The Format column contains the entry $*, which specifies that a point's raw description is copied without changes and used for the full description in the point label. This is an acceptable setting for the POND points. 4 In the Layer column, select the check box. Click the cell to open the Layer Selection dialog box. 5 In the Layer Selection dialog box, select V-NODE-STRM. Click OK. This setting means that the POND points reference the V-NODE-STRM layer for their display attributes. In the next few steps, you create another description key. 6 In the Code column, right-click the POND* entry. Click New. 7 In the new description key, click the default Code entry and change it to MHST*. 8 Set the same styles and layer as you did for POND* by repeating Steps 3 through 5. 9 In the Format column, enter STORM MH. This setting ensures that points with a raw description of MHST* (stormwater manholes) are labeled in the drawing as STORM MH. 10 Click to save the description keys and close the editor. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 2: Creating Point Groups (page 27). Exercise 2: Creating Point Groups In this exercise, you will create point groups to sort the points as they are imported into a drawing.
