&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Error or Warning Message&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Point name not found.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Explanation&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When attempting to create an alignment using the syntax &amp;quot;&lt;span class="hcp6"&gt;1 S2 3 C4R 5 S6 7 8&amp;quot;, error message &amp;quot;point name not found&amp;quot; is returned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Resolution&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="HelpText"&gt;By default the variable &lt;a href="/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/alphanumeric-cogo-points.aspx"&gt;Alphanumeric Point Names&lt;/a&gt; is checked off on the Variable Manager. When it is checked &lt;em&gt;off&lt;/em&gt;, Create/Edit Alignment by Cogo Points uses the legacy syntax (&lt;span class="hcp6"&gt;1 S2 3 C4R 5 S6 7 8&lt;/span&gt;). &amp;nbsp;When the variable Alphanumeric Point Names is checked &lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt;, Create/Edit Alignment by Cogo Points uses a new syntax (&lt;span class="hcp6"&gt;1 &amp;lt;SPI&amp;gt; 2 3 &amp;lt;CPR&amp;gt; 4 5 &amp;lt;SPI&amp;gt; 6 7 8&lt;/span&gt;). The new syntax uses the following special delimiters:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;&amp;lt;CPL&amp;gt; is used to delimiter a circular curve&amp;rsquo;s center point for a left hand curve. Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;&amp;lt;CPR&amp;gt; is used to delimiter a circular curve&amp;rsquo;s center point for a right hand curve. Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;&amp;lt;POC&amp;gt; is used to delimiter a circular curve&amp;rsquo;s mid-point (this is a point that is anywhere on the circular arc and not the start or end points). Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;&amp;lt;SPI&amp;gt; is used to delimiter a clothoid spiral&amp;rsquo;s point of intersection. Therefore this combination of characters can not be used as a point name if you want to use Edit/Create Alignment by Cogo Points.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div align="left"&gt;
&lt;p class="Note"&gt;The new syntax has the following limitations:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;This solution does not support transpositions of the alignment definition, the &amp;ldquo;T&amp;rdquo; delimiter. You can easily transpose the alignment with the Transpose Alignment command.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;This solution does not include a range of names, 1-100.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="p-Bullet"&gt;
&lt;p class="Bullet"&gt;Point names can not contain any leading, embedded or trailing white-space characters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
