And that's defined in a line work code set. If we right click on the linked in line work code set and go to edit, you'll see how this is set up. Looking at coding methods. The way our standard is set up is we use a space as our feature and code delimiter. So in the description of the point, we have the first description and then special codes that we'll use to determine if a line will be drawn and what will be done with it. The next thing you'll want to do is determine, based on your field process, is it going to start drawing a line or a figure the first time that it encounters a code? So here we have this checked yes, so without telling civil 3D that we're starting a new line, if it encounters one of these codes, it's going to automatically start drawing the line whether or not we include the special code of begin.
