Control codes


Home|Control codes

Control codes are used to create geometry directly from the field survey. You enter the control code in the field survey and it can provide you with a great deal of information when it is imported into the drawing.

Topocad Control codes

 The control codes are as follows:

Code

Description

Function

SP

Single point

Survey of  single point

SPB

Single point break

Survey of single point that breaks former line.

END

Line end

Line end

CLOSE

Closed line, end

Finishes a line and closes it.

ST

Line start

Start at line

CHK

Check point

Measurement of check point.

C3

Radius from 3 points

Creates a radius from three measured points.

ENDCV

Radius end

End of radius

STCV

Radius start

Start a line with a number of radii.
