Renumber survey database points

[Glenn Pope]

Does anyone know of a way to renumber points that have been imported into a survey database? Looks like the only option is to edit the original point file and reimport.

1) Unlock points in the Survey Network Properties: right-click - points - unlock in drawing
2) And / or you may need to unlock the points for the point group: right-click - unlock
3) Points - edit points - renumber.

I found that too, problem is the point is no longer part of the database. It can be overwritten by the original point number. Also it's ignored by the process linework tools.

Thanks for the reply.
