Is it possible to use two linking codes for the same point? For instance, in our office we use 758 to start a chain, 816 to start a curve, and 502 for back of curb. Is it possible to use the point code 758816502 to start a back of curb chain at the beginning of a curve? So far I have not had success with this, but it would save our surveyors time if they did not have to shoot two shots right next to each other in order to start a chain and a curve. I am using Project Explorer in MS to bring in my points.
Not being familiar with the input mechanism you're using, I think it would be simpler to create new point codes for the desired input.

That sounds great Bob, but the same problem would persist if I needed to assign two linking codes to the same point, regardless what those codes were. Did I understand you correctly?

Please illustrate your request with, preferably, an example DGN file. Like Bob, I'm not familiar with your work, and can't easily visualise what it is that you want to achieve.

Hi Jon,
In Microstation, when I use Project Explorer to import points into my drawing, I have access to a wide variety of linking codes:
Some of which perform two actions at once. For instance, StartPC begins a chain and begins a curve at a single survey point. But, in Geopak I am not offered these linking codes
, and there does not seem to be a way to combine linking codes to achieve something like a chain that begins on a curve. Do you know of a way to combine linking codes? Also, is there a way to use Control Codes in Geopak? Such as RECT (seen in the first picture).

What do you do to see that dialog in MicroStation? I don't seem able to find it. Is it, perhaps, provided by GeoPak?
