In this exercise, you will specify the parameters for formatting the point database.
As the Create Point Database dialog box is displayed, verify that the Point Description Field Size is 32 characters.
There is an additional field in the point database for point names, which stores alphanumeric point numbers or unique point names that may be used interchangeably with point numbers in many point commands. The point number field for the point database is still the primary field by which points are sorted and grouped.
Select the Use Point Names check box, and then verify that the Point Name Field Size is 16 characters.
Click OK to continue.
