how to use the Circle Diameter control code.

Hello, 

I am having trouble understanding how to use the CircleDiameter control code. When importing my survey fieldwork into ORD I am needing to show the dripline of the trees shot in the field. Previously in GeoPak I am able to import tree diameters using this text import feature code and command: 

TR=DIAMETER 8IN PCN 114 (Feature Code=DIAMETER Tree Measurement,Tree Type,Tree Tag#)

For importing "Basic" linework into ORD, I have successfully used this method: 

  

"Basic" linework example

PCLV37.B=24_RCP
PCLV37=24_RCP
PCLV37=24_RCP
PCLV37.E=24_RCP

Any suggestions on how to use the CD CircleDiameter code?

  • Coming from the InRoads side of this, we do not use dot notation or and descriptor separators.

    We use Space is required between field code and control codes = True.

    So your linework example, would be as follows (PINVE is our code for 24" Pipe Invert) 

    Other codes are AN for Attribute Name and AV for Attribute Value. Our attribute names are SZ for Size and TY for Type. Note that the SZ attribute is redundant since PINVE = 24 inch Pipe Invert. But it also is a QAQC check, since sometimes people screw up the letters after PINV.

    PINVE ST AN TY AV RCP AN SZ AV 24

    PINVE

    PINVE

    PINVE

    To shoot a 4' diameter concrete (CONC) base of an Electric Pole (EP), we would code

    EP CONC CD 4

    How to do that with your coding is beyond my expertise.
