Power Civil: SMD Feature dialogue

I want to edit the Feature field of the line elements in my COGO Navigator. When I select the lines and invoke the Edit Feature dialogue, I am unable to enter the complete field name that corresponds with the SMD file because the input field is too short. Please see the screen capture.

  • Neil,

    as you have found, there is a limitation on the number of characters thatcan be used as a feature inside COGO.

    Copy the "Default_Parcel" SMD feature to a new (shorter) name and use that name as your COGO feature.

    The "Default_Parcel" is part of the SMD to provide some level of symbology/annotations to COGO parcels that do NOT have a feature associated with them.

    HTHs.

    BTW: It does appear that the number of characters for Feature names has been increased for the upcoming SELECTseries1 release. I was able to successfuilly add a 20 character feature name.
