XIN for Data Acquisition

Robert, I'll contact you later next week about having a meeting on this.

But, since I am holding a seminar on my TOPO and DTM merge task, that might have been greatly simplified by the Data Acquisition tools, I decided to test out some things.

When I used the Item Browser and imported "linked" my XIN, the result seemed less than ideal. I saw point and line features - which seemed limited to geometry features - no survey features. I was running this using PowerCivil for North America, SS1 908.11.07.181) - Could that be part of the problem?Or do all survey Features also have to be Geometry Features? When I opened an FWD, there did not seem to be a true matching of feature codes and it also seemed to not honor PC, PT, ST, etc. Control Codes.

I was able to make a new surface from two Photogrammetry DTM's, but I did use the Existing DTM's instead of the 3D cad files. Since the content manager lumps all breaklines together, does that mean that there are no feature based DTM's like InRoads.

Also the random points came over with no style and what looked like no name, but it might have been " " - easy enough to fix with Feature Properties once I figured out that the seemingly blank line was really a feature too.
