Summary

The GT_UPDATEPOINTBLK command is specifically designed for surveyors and CAD professionals working with coordinate-based blocks in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. It allows users to update attribute values within a point block that contains Easting, Northing, and Elevation (Z) data.

GeoTool -> Blocks Tools -> Blocks Tools -> Update ‘Coordinates Block’ attributes

Update ‘Coordinates Block’ Attributes: GT_UPDATEPOINTBLK – GeoTools Command

Key Features Include:

Block & Attribute Selection:

Select Block: Choose the point block that contains coordinate-related attributes.
Select Attribute for Eastings: Assign the attribute that stores Easting (X) coordinates.
Select Attribute for Northings: Assign the attribute that stores Northing (Y) coordinates.
Select Attribute for Elevations: Assign the attribute that stores Elevation (Z) values.

Automatic Data Population:

Once attributes are assigned, the command automatically updates each block instance with the correct coordinate values.
Ideal for surveying, GIS, and mapping workflows where point data needs to be dynamically updated.

Supports Various CAD Workflows:

Works seamlessly with survey point blocks, GIS data, topographic maps, and other CAD-based geospatial applications.
Can be used for batch updating multiple blocks within a drawing, ensuring consistency.

Benefits:

Automates Coordinate Entry – Reduces manual input errors when handling large datasets.
Enhances Accuracy – Ensures that all points maintain correct Easting, Northing, and Elevation values.
Saves Time – Eliminates the need for manually editing block attributes.
Ideal for Surveying & GIS Workflows – Perfect for civil engineering, land survey, and topographical mapping projects.

The GT_UPDATEPOINTBLK command is a valuable tool for surveyors, civil engineers, and GIS professionals who require accurate and efficient coordinate attribute management in their CAD drawings.
