you will probably need to edit the file and add the BEG or CONT codes to the appropriate points in order for the figures to be created correctly.
(From the help file...
You can add additional vertices to an existing figure using the last vertex entered as the starting point.
To continue a figure
- From the Analysis/Figures menu, choose Figure Creation [img]mk:@MSITStore:C:Program%20FilesLand%20Desktop%20R2HelpSurvey.chm::/_menuaro.gif[/img] Continue.
- Select the figure you want to continue.
- Define the next vertex by selecting the point on the screen, or typing one of the following options:
- <LI class=ListBullet>AD and then the angle and distance. <LI class=ListBullet>BD and then the bearing and distance. <LI class=ListBullet>ZD and then the azimuth and distance. <LI class=ListBullet>DD and then the deflection distance. <LI class=ListBullet>RT and then a negative or positive right distance, which is a right angle departure from the last leg of the figure.
- CU to create a curve, type the radius, and select one of the following options for creating the curve:
Select entry (Tan/Chord/Delta/Ext/Mid/Length)<Length>:
- CL to close the figure, linking the last vertex with the first one.
When you select any distance options, a similar prompt sequence displays.
To continue a figure at the Survey Command Line, type
CONTINUE [figure]
- figure:The name of the figure being continued.
The following example shows a valid entry using the Continue command:

The REM word references line control and block information. The first four numbers reference figures and are set in the Prefix Library. The last four numbers of the REM word are used to reference symbols and are set in the description key file. Some examples of these are:
- <LI class=Bullet1>BEGIN <Figure>: Set the first 4 digits of the REM word to the desired figure name. <LI class=Bullet1>CONT <Figure>: Set the first 4 digits of the REM word to the desired existing figure name.
- END <Figure>: Set the first 4 digits of the REM word to 0.
You can issue the START (43), RECALL (45), PC (46), and C3 (49) commands only through a CODE key entry. When locating lines in a cross section, it is best to use the REM word to control figure creation, although you can use the CODE key to control all figure creation.
NOTE Use the END command to temporarily end figures when you need to shoot random shots or a traverse point not included in the figure. You do not need to use the END command between commands that reference different figures. The END command is global and does not recognize the addition of a specific figure name to the code 41 in the INFO1 block.Example of figure prefix

- <LI class=Bullet1>job #: Enter a job number. <LI class=Bullet1>date: 6 digit date (mmddyy). For example, 010199 is Jan 1 1999. <LI class=Bullet1>time: Military time in minutes. For example, 1201 is 12:01 p.m. <LI class=Bullet1>temp: Temperature in degrees. (Uses default units.) <LI class=Bullet1>bar.: Barometric pressure to two decimal places. (Uses default units.) For example, 2974 is 29.74. <LI class=Bullet1>conditions: 1 = Snow, 2 = Sunny, 3 = Cloudy, 4= Rain, 5 = Fog, 6 = Night. <LI class=Bullet1>pt #: Point number. <LI class=Bullet1>orient: Orientation to five places (uses default units). For example, 26000011 DMS = 260 degrees 1.1 seconds. <LI class=Bullet1>h.t.: Height of target above ground elevation.
- h.i.: Height of instrument above ground elevation.
