Is it possible to have two linking codes for one point?

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?

Hi Jon,

           the first picture is from MS:

, right click on IDOT, or whatever your seed file is, and select properties.  You will find the dialog under linking codes.

 and the second picture is from Geopak under project preferences.

Your screenshot shows that you are exploring the Civil Standards resource.  Civil Standards is, I believe, provided by GeoPak.  Those of us using plain old MicroStation can't see that resource.  You'd be better off posting your question to the GeoPak Forum.

Hey Jon,

              This is a function of Microstation. 

, you can select project explorer here under survey processing.  What version of Microstation are you using?

As Jon stated this is a civil part of a program that isn't delivered by plain Microstation.
