    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=756680">SCNickerson</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 12545<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 02.Dec.2017 at 21:09<br /><br />Going to try and explain my question the best I can.<div><br></div><div>Currently I do a lot of work with powerlines / power poles. The way these are shown is our surveyors have a survey shot for the power pole, and and anchors associated with that pole.</div><div><br></div><div>Example of the description/point number for pole would be 852449 EXPP_, for the anchor (if any) it would be 852449A (or B, C, D if there are 2+ anchors) EXANC_.</div><div><br></div><div>Right now we have a point importer program that recognizes descriptions and adds an assigned block to certain descriptions, we have a block we use for our power poles. This block is a dynamic block with a drop down option, the default is "Power Pole", other options are "Power Pole 1 Anchor", "Power Pole 2 Anchors", "Power Pole 3 Anchors", etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently since the default block is set to just the "Power Pole" block, I have to manually go through each power pole that has an anchor with it and change the drop down to the correct # of anchors, and in addition I have to manually move the grip point of those anchors to the points for the anchors.</div><div><br></div><div>My question, is there a way that the point important program can:</div><div><br></div><div>A) Recognize that there are anchors associated with the pole</div><div>B) Recognize the # of anchors associated with the pole</div><div>C) Automatically choose the correct block with the correct # of anchors</div><div>D) Automatically align the grips of the anchors to the points</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]>
