2010 Shared Coordinates - Base + Survey Points

[Liz437]

The new developments of Project Base Point + Project Survey Point in 2010 are very intriguing to me. These might completely change the way that we deal with shared coordinates, & at a minimum will be very useful. I have two questions about them that I cant seem to find the answer to:

1. How do these tie into Civil3d?
2. They do not appear to be available in an upgraded project file. Am I just missing them somewhere? Can they be added? (I know they cannot be deleted)

Any insight would be appreciated!!

Update: The Project Base Point appears to have assigned itself to a random user-created workset. [I would have thought this would be something on the Proj Info workset, or possibly its own Project Standards Workset, but thats beside the point.] I have now turned on all worksets & still do not see the Project Survey Point.

In an updated file they are hidden in the view. Click on the "Reveal Hidden Elements" light bulb icon at the bottom of the screen and it will show up.

I should have said I have already tried that - still a no go...

odd... I have found it in projects I have upgraded from 2009. Maybe it is way off the screen and hidden. Did you do anything special with your coordinates on the upgraded files?

I've even tried having only those two points on in the view & ZF; still not there.

The project is a very large multi-model/multi firm project. The way that we manage our shared coordinates is to have one file that every model is linked into & we publish coordinates from this file. Each model is on its own workset, which makes it much easier/faster for us to adjust if necessary. We also check the project info workset out to 'admin' to ensure the models cant be moved on accident. This master coordinate file is not the model I am in, {I have not checked that model yet,} but shouldn't the survey point be in every file?

Liz,

Make sure that you have them turned on in the Visibility/Graphics overide under the site category. If they are turned on there then something else is not showing correctly. That should be it though.
