Hello can anyone point me in the right direction. I am trying to do line work in Land Desktop and I cannot figure it out.

In Land desktop one may draw lines, just like autocad,
or one may use the Lines/Curves menu to draw them using
COGO commands, or by point numbers.
If you are attrmpting to have the linework brought in with your
survey data, look into setting up your, Figure Prefix library,
your Description keys. Then when you import the fieldbook
(under Analysis and Figures menu) all of the lines and symbols
will be drawn automatically for you.
If these are not the type of lines you wish to draw, please explain further.
Thank you that is the type of line work I was talking about. I need the line work brought in with the field book. If anyone has any more info on it that would be great. My firm has it's own discriptors and I tried to bring them in but I cannot find where to put the start and end of the line code in LDD. Thank you for your help
The key pieces to the puzzle you are assembling are these.
First you must establish your Figure Prefix Library,
so that Land will know what your figure names are (lines)
and what layer you want them on.
Second you must establish your Description Key file (Use DEFAULT)
so that land knows what symbols and what layers your descriptions
represent.
Then when one brings in a properly coded Field Book File (FBK)
all of the symbols and lines will be created on the proper layers
with the correct symbols.
Example
Beg Fence1 (begin fence number 1)
point data........, fence1
point data, stone
point data, fence1
Beg Curb1
point data, curb1
point data, curb1
End Curb1
point data, curb1
In the above example the figure is Fence1
every where Land sees Fence1 in this field book file it
will connect the dots.
You do not need to explicitly issue the end command
although you can. Feel free to contact me in a chat
session to dicuss further.
