POINTINFO Command

The POINTINFO command is created by the Edit Point Info dialog box (Insert | Report Command | Edit Point info).

When a POINTINFO command has been inserted in the measurement routine, a Point Info box is displayed in the Graphic Display window. The POINTINFO command can be modified in the Edit window. The command line for the POINTINFO command reads:

POINTINFO/Dim ID or Feat ID; FILTER FILTER_TYPE FILTER_NUM;ICON,ID,TYPE,VERT,HORIZ; HEADINGS, GRAPH; ”OUTPUT FORMAT” ,$
"HIT NUMBERS"

Dim ID or Feat ID - The ID of the dimension or feature to be displayed.

FILTER_NUM - A number field available when the filter option is INTERVAL, WORST, or DEVIATION.

HIT NUMBERS - The hit numbers are the specific numbered hits that are controlled by this particular POINTINFO command. Multiple hits can be displayed using the same POINTINFO command. Each field in the hit numbers is a toggle string. When a hit is ON, the string in the number position is the hit number (1,2,3, etc.). When a hit is OFF, the toggle string displays a blank.
