  • You can use control point subtypes to classify the control point for use in drawings and reports. For more information, see Control Point Subtype Sheet in the Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.

  • Control point subtypes are used in drawings in several ways. They can indicate a point on a piece of equipment or a structure to be used in dimensioning. The subtype can indicate the position of a grating symbol on a structure planning drawing. Another way the subtype is used is to place notes at a very specific point on an object, making the control point drawable so it can be labeled.

  • You can use the CAD Detail control point subtype to classify the control point for use in the HgrSup3View package in drawings and reports. For more information, see the Smart 3D Drawings and Reports Reference Data Guide.

Name

Identifies the control point with a name, which you can define, or use the selection that a rule defines. The GenericNamingRules.xls workbook lists the naming rules used in the software. For more information about naming rules, see the Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command in the software.
