Problem:

Can I change the Cardinal Point abbreviations used in reports? If so, how?

Solution:

Yes, it can be done. Points like P.C & S.C. are hard coded in the reports for SELECT series 3 folders:

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Civil\ReportBrowser\8.11.9\en\CivilGeometry.

To change, navigate to

C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Civil\ReportBrowser\8.11.9\en\format.xsl

and edit as needed by changing the return value.

// Converts the point type to a user defined type, modify the value after the return, not the case value

// As an example case "POB" : return "P.O.B."; will change the POB to P.O.B.

// If in doubt, contact Development

//

function pointType( pointSubtype )

{

switch ( pointSubtype )

{

case "POB" : return "POB";

case "POE" : return "POE";
