n4ce Text Editing and Height Filtering
Having completed your survey the next stage is to add missing detail and remove/move overlapping text. It's not unknown for surveyors only picking up detail so that their closeness to other points will not create overlapping text. Whilst visualising your survey as it would appear is commendable, it's not really necessary to go to this extent for overlapping text. Additional editing tools are provided here with the Professional edition to help you here including filtering of Height text.

There are four different type of annotation recognised in n4ce, namely Heights, Number, Code and Text. The latter is used in Text Macros for displaying Labels and Dimensions.
Annotation whose position and orientation is governed by a feature string can be flipped or made perpendicular to that feature.
If you move text incorrectly then you can of course use the undo to bring it back to its original position. Tools are available here for restoring edited text either individually or in groups. The CAD Commit option copies text to the Dedicated CAD Backcloth. |

Annotation is given a style (font and size) and an offset from a survey point and is identified through the point it is attached to. Moving or deleting individual annotation is always done by indicating the point.
Once you have selected a point, the annotation attached to this point will be identified, as shown opposite. Text will automatically flip, if Readable is set, as it passes through the vertical. |
|
The Code Table has an entry for Heights, which identifies individual Codes with a priority. This is used with the Height Text filter to remove overlapping text with a lower priority.
The overlapping text can be flagged by putting points onto the Select List and then removed. |
|
Note that the removed text is flagged with a listed point so that they can be Restored if need be, individually by Rectangle or List.
