3 1 Creating a Field Code Table (.fld) File To process points using Field to Finish, the first step is to load or create a new Field Code Table (.fld) file. If you are starting from scratch, you can use an existing Coordinate (.crd) file to create a new FLD file. For best results, work with as clean a CRD file as possible. In other words: consolidate and simplify descriptions, correct misspellings and, generally, use as few descriptions as necessary. In Carlson Survey, go to Survey > Draw Field to Finish (1 1) When prompted, associate the drawing with any Coordinate (.crd) file. (1 2) Pick the Edit Codes/Points button. (1 3) Pick the Code Table by CRD button. (1 4) When prompted, pick the button to create a New FLD file. Specify a filename and save location. (1 5) Now, in the Field to Finish editor, delete any unwanted Field Codes by selecting them and then using the Cut button. (1 6) Where possible, make changes to multiple Field Codes at one time by using Shift+<Select> or CTRL+<Select> and then picking the Edit button. (1 7) Make changes to a single Field Code by picking the Edit button next to the Field Code. (1 8) Pick the Save button then the Exit button when finished.

7 3 Field Coding for Field to Finish (3 1) Back in the Field to Finish editor, pick the Code Table Settings button. (3 2) Pick the Export SurvCE Codes button to create a Feature Code List (.fcl) file that can be loaded into a SurvCE data collector. (3 3) Pick the Special Codes button to review and customize linework instructional codes. The most commonly used Special Codes are: BEG END PC PT CLO RECT JPN OH OV OFB Begin Linework End Linework Start a curve End a curve Close back to first point Create a rectangle (requires 3 points) Join to Point Number Offset Horizontal Offset Vertical Offset to both left and right / Append character description \ Prefix character description // Append Field Code description \\ Prefix Field Code description Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 5 of 33

However, using BC for more than one section of linework requires you to collect the points for one section of linework before starting on the next. You could also code the points this way to get the same result: 1, , , ,BC1 2, , , ,BC1 PC 3, , , ,BC1 4, , , ,BC1 5, , , ,BC1 6, , , ,BC2 7, , , ,BC2 PC 8, , , ,BC2 9, , , ,BC2 10, , , ,BC2 Coding the points with BC1 and BC2 instead of simply BC makes each section of linework unique. (The Field Code is still BC even if used with a suffix like BC1 and BC2) Also note that ONLY the PC of the curves have been coded not the PT. If there is a PC code but not a PT, the program will assume the PC and the following two points are a 3 point curve. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 6 of 33

11 4 Field to Finish Processing from a Text/ASCII File (4 1) Start a new drawing using any Drawing Template (.dwt) file. (4 2) Work through Carlson s Startup Drawing Wizard to create a new Coordinate (.crd) file and select the option to Import Points From... Text/ASCII File. (4 3) After specifying the Text/ASCII File to import, select the option to draw points with Field to Finish. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 9 of 33

12 5 Field to Finish Processing from a Coordinate (.crd) File (5 1) In the Draw Field to Finish dialog box, pick the Set button to specify the Field Code Table (.fld) file. (5 2) Specify the Range of Points to be processed. (5 3) Pick the Additional Draw Options button to view or make changes to settings. (5 4) Back in the Draw Field to Finish box, pick the OK button to Draw Field to Finish. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 10 of 33

13 6 Misc Field to Finish Tips (6 1) When entering a point description, you can put a space between two descriptions and, if Field Code definitions exist for both descriptions, Field to Finish can process the point twice once for each Code. For instance, a point located along both a sidewalk and back of curb can have a description of BC SW. If Multiple Codes are found, the program will, by default, prompt you for confirmation before processing the point as a Multiple Code. You can change this setting to Split All Multiple Codes or Split No Multiple Codes in Code Table Settings. (6 2) To have a point s Raw Description displayed as the Drawing Description, set the Use Raw Description setting to Both in the Field Code definition dialog box. (6 3) To have the Field Code Description displayed as the point s Drawing Description, set the Use Raw Description setting to Off and provide a new Description in the Field Code definition dialog box. (6 4) To enter additional descriptive information about a point and have it displayed as a prefix in the Drawing Description, enter a back slash after the point description and then enter the descriptive information. You must also have the Use Raw Description setting in the Field Code definition turned Off and supply a Field Code Description. Using this method, a description entered in the field as OAK\12 could be displayed as 12 Oak Tree in the Drawing Description. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 11 of 33

14 (6 5) To enter additional descriptive information about a point and have it displayed as a suffix in the Drawing Description, enter a forward slash after the point description and then enter the descriptive information. You must also have the Use Raw Description setting in the Field Code definition turned Off and supply a Field Code Description. Using this method, a description entered in the field as IP/Disturbed could be displayed as Iron Pipe Disturbed in the Drawing Description. You can create a set of Field Codes for the purpose of labeling sizes of pipes, trees, property corners, etc. (6 6) Create a new Field Code named 18. Set the Use Raw Description setting to Off and enter a Field Code Description of 18 (make sure to add a space after the ). Other settings in the Field Code definition dialog box will not be used. (6 7) To use the size Field Code Description as a prefix, enter a double back slash after the point description and then enter the size Field Code. Using this method, a description entered in the field as RCP\\18 could be displayed as 18 RCP Pipe in the Drawing Description. (6 8) To use the size Field Code Description as a suffix, enter a double forward slash after the point description and then enter the size Field Code. Create additional size Field Codes such as 12 for 12, 01 for 1 and 1 4 for ¼. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 12 of 33

15 (6 9) Use the Separate Attribute Layers settings in the Field Code definition dialog box to define unique layers for Point Symbol, Point Number, Point Elevation or Point Description for points with that description. The example shown to the right is for a point with a tree symbol. The Point Number and Elevation for these points can be frozen and thawed by the PNTNO and PNTELEV layers (along with most other points in the drawing). However, the Description and Symbol can be frozen and thawed independently of Descriptions and Symbols for other points. (6 10) From the Code Table Settings window, you can populate a table of Substitution Codes. This can be helpful if you typically use a particular list of Field Codes but then have a client that requires you to use a different set of codes and Code Table. For instance, if your standard Code list is based on alpha characters such as TREE and FENCE but the corresponding codes for a DOT you are working for are and 20010, you could set up substitution codes that allow you to enter TREE or FENCE in the field but process and in the office.

17 7 Using GIS Files to Collect Additional Data with SurvCE/SurvPC and Carlson Survey The goal of this lesson is to demonstrate how you can collect additional, GIS type information in the field and display that information as point data in your drawing. A couple of examples are shown below: Point #1 shows a fire hydrant with the standard point number, elevation and description plus 3 custom GIS Attributes: Fire hydrant ID, Color and Number of ports. Point #2 shows a manhole with the standard point number, elevation and description plus 4 custom GIS Attributes: Manhole ID, Type of manhole, Rim diameter and Depth to invert. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 15 of 33

18 There are several files you will need in order to create and access the additional data and some of them have very specific file naming and save location requirements. Some of the files are settings files which means that they will be used for multiple projects and, therefore, should be saved in a common folder. Other files are project specific and should be saved with other project data files. Field Code Table (.fld) file This is a settings file that is created and used in Carlson Survey. The file contains Field Code definitions that are used to process points with Field to Finish. If you have already defined Features in a GIS Features (.gis) file, you can create new Field Codes by importing Features from the GIS file. Once populated, the FLD file can be exported to a Feature Code List (.fcl) file that can be used in SurvCE or SurvPC. Feature Code List (.fcl) file This is a settings file and is the SurvCE/SurvPC version of the Field Code Table (.fld) file used in Carlson Survey. Although Field Codes can be created and saved to an FCL file within SurvCE/SurvPC, you are not able to configure GIS Attributes the way you can in Carlson Survey. To collect GIS data and display it in the drawing with the rest of the point data, you will need to create an FLD file in Survey Field to Finish, export it to an FCL file from the Code Table Settings window and then transfer the FCL file to the data collector. The FCL and GIS Features (.gis) file must have the same filename and be located in the same folder on the data collector to work properly. GIS Features (.gis) file This is a settings file that stores features (such as trees, fire hydrants and manholes) and their defined Attributes (such as ID number, type, size, depth, etc.). You can use Carlson GIS or Carlson Survey desktop software to define GIS Features to a GIS file. If you have already defined Field Codes in an FLD file, you can also create new Features by importing Field Codes from the FLD file. After the GIS file has been populated, it must be copied to the data collector. The GIS and FCL files must have the same filename and be located in the same folder on the data collector to work properly. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 16 of 33

19 Coordinate (.crd) file This is a project specific file that is used to store regular point data such as point number, northing, easting, elevation and description in SurvCE/SurvPC and all Carlson desktop software. You can name the CRD file anything. However, if you collect GIS data in the field, SurvCE/SurvPC will automatically create a new GIS Data (.vtt) file in which to store the additional information. The VTT filename will be the same as the associated CRD file. So, if you rename the CRD file, you must also rename the VTT file. Although it s used a bit differently, Carlson desktop programs create a Point Notes (.not) file that is the desktop equivalent of a VTT file. Whether working on a data collector or desktop computer, the CRD file and associated VTT or NOT file must have the same filename and reside in the same folder to work properly. GIS Data (.vtt) file This is a project specific file that is associated with a CRD file having the same filename. The file is automatically created by SurvCE/SurvPC when GIS data is collected in the field. Whether working on a data collector or desktop computer, the CRD file and associated VTT file must have the same filename and reside in the same folder to work properly. Point Notes (.not) file This is a project specific file that is associated with a CRD file having the same filename. The file is automatically created by Carlson s desktop software when the option to enter Point Notes is enabled. The CRD file and associated NOT file must have the same filename and reside in the same folder to work properly. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 17 of 33

20 To collect and display GIS data in your drawing, the first step is to create and specify the GIS Features (.gis) and Output Database (.mdb) file to use (7 1) In Carlson Survey, go to GIS > GIS Database Settings. (7 2) Set the GIS Features File. This is a settings file, so it should not be given a project specific name and it should be saved in a standards settings folder. (7 3) Set the Data Format to a Single File Type Database. (7 4) Specify the Output Database (.mdb) file. This is a project specific file so it should be given a name relative to the project and saved in a project folder. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 18 of 33

21 The next step is to define the various GIS Features to be collected and save them to the GIS file. (7 5) Go to GIS > Define GIS Features. (7 6) In the Define GIS Features dialog box, go to the Category Menu and pick New. (7 7) Enter the new Category name: UTILITIES. The first Feature will be called FHG and used to collect GIS data for a fire hydrant. (7 8) Select the new UTILITIES Category. (7 9) Pick the New Feature button. (7 10) Enter the New Feature Name: FHG. Note: For any GIS Features that will be used with Field to Finish, I add the suffix G to distinguish it from a standard FH Field Code. For the new FHG Feature: (7 11) Enter Attribute: FHID. For the Attribute Full Name, enter: Hydrant ID. Set the Type to Char. Leave the Default and List Values cells empty. Set the Required value to Yes. Set the Field Edit value to Editable. Set the Restrict to List value to No. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 19 of 33

22 (7 12) Enter a 2 nd Attribute: COLOR. For the Attribute Full Name, enter: Hydrant Color. Set the Type to Char. Leave the Default and List Values cells empty. Set the Required value to Yes. Set the Field Edit value to Editable. Set the Restrict to List value to No. (7 13) Enter a 3 rd Attribute: PORTS. For the Attribute Full Name, enter: # of Ports. Set the Type to Integer. Leave the Default cell empty. Create a List of Values that includes: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Set the Required value to Yes. Set the Field Edit value to Editable. Set the Restrict to List value to Yes. (7 14) Pick the Save Feature button. You can see the newly defined Attributes for the FHG Feature to the right. (7 15) Follow the steps above to create another Feature called MHG that will be used to collect GIS data for a manhole. (7 16) Define Attribute MHID for Manhole ID. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 20 of 33

23 (7 17) Define Attribute TYPE using List Values Sanitary, Storm and TeleData. (7 18) Define Attribute RIMDIAM for Rim Diameter. (7 19) Define Attribute DEPTH for Depth to Invert. (7 20) Pick the Save Feature button. (7 21) You can see the newly defined Attributes for the MHG Feature below. (7 22) Go to the File Menu and pick Save to save all changes to the GIS file. Note: After creating one Feature, you can go to the Feature Menu and pick Copy to create new Features that are similar and then make changes as needed. Also, under the File Menu, there is an Import from Field to Finish command that can be used to create GIS Features from an existing FLD file. Once finished, you can use the Report function to create a report of all defined Features and Attributes. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 21 of 33

24 The next step is to create new Symbols (Block definitions) that will display the GIS Attributes. To do this, we will create a copy of a standard Carlson Symbol and add new, custom Attributes. For the FHG Feature, we will use spt16.dwg and for the MHG Feature we will use spt65.dwg. (7 23) Open spt16.dwg from the /SUP folder. (7 24) Use the SaveAs command to save the file in a new location with the filename spt16_fhg.dwg. (7 25) Create new Attributes using the ATTDEF command. (7 26) Un check all Modes or Attribute Flags. (7 27) Set the Insertion Point to 0,0,0. Note: If you use Attribute Layout ID = 2, an Insertion Point of 2, 3.5,0 will position the new Attributes directly below the point description. (7 28) Set the Tag and Prompt values to the first Feature Attribute Name: FHID. (7 29) Set the Text Height to 1.0. (7 30) In AutoCAD, pick the OK button and in IntelliCAD, pick the Define button. AutoCAD ATTDEF Dialog Box Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 22 of 33

25 (7 31) Repeat the steps above to create additional Attributes for the FHG Symbol: COLOR and PORTS. To define each additional Attribute in AutoCAD: Re enter the ATTDEF command and then pick the checkbox to Align below previous attribute definition. Change the Tag and Prompt and then pick the OK button. IntelliCAD ATTDEF Dialog Box To define each additional Attribute in IntelliCAD: Since the dialog box doesn t close after picking Define, you can just change the Name and Prompt for the next Attribute and pick the Define button again. The new Attribute will automatically be positioned below the one previously defined. After entering the last Name and Prompt, pick Define and Exit. (7 32) Save and Close the new Block drawing. The new spt16_fhg.dwg Block is shown to the right. (7 33) Repeat the steps above to create new Symbol spt65_mhg.dwg having custom Attributes for MHID, TYPE, RIMDIAM and DEPTH. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 23 of 33

26 To be accessible in Field to Finish, the new Block drawing must be defined in Carlson s Symbol Library. (7 34) Go to Settings Menu > Symbol Library. (7 35) In the Symbol Library, use the Add Category button to create a MyGIS Category. (7 36) Select the Category MyGIS. (7 37) Pick the Import Symbols button. (7 38) Browse to and select the spt16_fhg.dwg and spt65_mhg.dwg files. (7 39) When prompted whether to copy the file to the program \SUP folder, respond as appropriate for your organization. I recommend picking Yes. After adding the Symbols to the MyGIS Category, the Edit Symbol Library window should look like the image to the right. (7 40) Pick the Save button. (7 41) Pick the Exit button to close Symbol Library. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 24 of 33

27 The next step is to associate your Field to Finish command with the new GIS file. (7 42) Go to Survey Menu > Draw Field to Finish. (7 43) When prompted, associate the current drawing to any CRD file. (7 44) In the Draw Field to Finish window, use the Set button to assign the GIS Table. Note: The current CRD file and FLD Code Table settings do not matter at this time. (7 45) Pick the Edit Codes/Points button. (7 46) From the Field to Finish dialog box, pick the Code Table Settings button. (7 47) Follow the prompts to create a new FLD file that will be used for GIS data collection. Note: The new FLD file must be named the same and saved in the same folder as the GIS file in order to work properly. (7 48) Pick the Import GIS Feature Codes button and, when prompted, select the GIS file created earlier. In the Field to Finish window, you can see the Codes that have been imported from the GIS file. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 25 of 33

28 Next, each Code must be edited in order to properly display Symbols and Block Attributes. (7 49) Pick the Edit button next to the FHG Field Code. On the General tab: (7 50) Enter the Description. (7 51) Specify the Main Layer and Distinct Point Layer Names. (7 52) Set the Attribute Layout ID. (7 53) Change other settings as needed. (7 54) Pick the GIS Setup button. Make sure that the GIS Features setting for Points is set to the correct Feature from the GIS file: FHG. (7 55) Uncheck all Attributes to Create except for SurvCE GIS Fields. Jennifer DiBona (919) Page 26 of 33

29 On the Symbol tab: (7 56) Change the Symbol to the new spt16_fhg. (7 57) Pick the Custom Attributes button. (7 58) Make sure that the Tags that populate the Custom Attributes window are the correct ones for the FHG Feature. (7 59) Pick the Set button to set the Value for Tag #1 (FHID). (7 60) Change the Parameter Type to GIS By Name. (7 61) Next to Name, enter the GIS Feature Attribute that is to be used to populate the Block Attribute: FHID. (7 62) Repeat these steps to set the Value for the COLOR and PORTS Tags. (7 63) Repeat the steps above to modify Code MHG to use Symbol spt65_mhg and its associated Attributes. Jennifer DiBona (919) Page 27 of 33

30 (7 64) After the Field Codes have been modified, pick the Save button to save the new FLD file. Our next step is to export this FLD file to a Feature Code List (.fcl) file that can be used in the field by SurvCE or SurvPC. (7 65) Pick the Code Table Settings button. (7 66) Pick the Export SurvCE Codes button and specify a filename and folder for the new FCL file. Remember: The FCL file and GIS file must be named the same in order to work properly. (7 67) Once finished, exit completely out of Field to Finish without drawing points into the drawing. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 28 of 33

31 Now it s time to store some points in SurvCE or SurvPC. For purposes of this exercise, we will be using and showing screen captures from SurvPC but everything will work the same in SurvCE. Also, this is not a SurvCE/SurvPC lesson so best practices have not been followed. (7 68) Copy your GIS and FCL files to the data collector. Note: As mentioned previously, the GIS and FCL files must have the same name and be stored in the same folder. (7 69) Set the CRD file and other configuration settings as needed. (7 70) From the File Menu, pick the Feature Code List button. (7 71) Pick the Load button and then select the FCL file. The Codes are displayed and should match those shown in the image to the right. (7 72) Close the Feature Code List window. (7 73) From the Equip Menu, pick the Configure button. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 29 of 33

32 (7 74) For purposes of this exercise, in the General Menu, select the option to Prompt for Height & Description. (7 75) Pick the green checkmark to accept changes and return to the main menu. (7 76) From the Survey Menu, pick Store Points. (7 77) Pick the S button to Store a point. (7 78) Pick the FHG Code from the list. (7 79) Pick the green checkmark to continue. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 30 of 33

33 (7 80) Enter data for the Hydrant ID, Hydrant Color and # of Ports. (7 81) Pick the Store button. (7 82) In the Store Pts screen, pick the S button to store another point. (7 83) Pick the MHG Code from the list. (7 84) Pick the green checkmark to continue. (7 85) Enter data for the Manhole ID, Type of Manhole, Rim Diameter and Depth to Invert. (7 86) Pick the Store button. (7 87) Close the Store Pts window and then close out of SurvPC. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 31 of 33

34 When we started collecting points, the only two files in this folder were 04 08_TCG_GIS.fcl and 04 08_TCG_GIS.gis. The additional files and folders shown to the right were created automatically by SurvPC. We are now ready for the final step of processing this data in Carlson Survey. (7 88) Copy the CRD and VTT files from the data collector to a new folder accessible from Carlson Survey. In Carlson Survey... (7 89) Start or open a drawing and set the CRD file that was copied from the data collector current. Remember: The CRD file and VTT file must have the same filename and be stored in the same folder. (7 90) Go to Survey Menu > Draw Field to Finish. (7 91) Make sure that the FLD Code Table and GIS Table are set properly. Remember: The FLD and GIS files must have the same name and be stored in the same folder and the GIS file must be the original of the one used to store points in the field. (7 92) Pick OK to Draw Field to Finish. Jennifer DiBona (919) ContactUs@thatcadgirl.com Page 32 of 33
