First of all, I first created a "conversation" not realizing (I'm still guessing) that conversations are not posts but threads are posts with their responses.
And...you will not see the button to make a new post if you don't sign in first.
Nothing is defined here but I'm guessing that posts go out publicly while maybe conversations are specific to the "participants" you list when you start the conversation.
That is what this post will end up answering, more or less, it's own question. But I thought someone else may have had this problem and it might help them.
Anyway....the problem I encountered was that the labels were getting mismatched with the points. For what I'm doing, I take the points in the same sequence that I later connect the dots to form the parcel map.
The labels produced by the Justin export to .dxf are in the form of symbols, not text and points and lines.
The problem was explained by my CAD support. I use Visual Cadd 7 which is a great 2D product and the support is excellent. He said:
"You have a naming conflict on the symbols. Symbols and their names are shared between all open drawings. So if you have two drawings which both use the same symbol name but with different symbol definitions, one symbol will be replaced by the other of the same name. For example, if you start a new session of v7 (which is required to clear out all symbols from memory) and open the DXF, you will find that B22 is log0115zg. If you close v7 and re-open it (again, to clear out the symbols) and open the __Prt3.vcd, there the B22 is BucaroCasaRefPt. If you open both the DXF and VCD at the same time, the B22 will be whichever one is opened first. So, if you open the DXF then the VCD, the VCD will use the B22 already defined by the DXF and it will be log0115zg.
I also note in the DXF that symbol B3A is BucaroCasaRefPt. If that is to be a symbol shared across several drawings, you probably want to give it a unique name other than B22 or B3A because those names can get re-used and be conflicts.
The best I can suggest is to be careful about opening more than one drawing which use the same symbol names unless you are sure the same symbol names are in fact the same symbols."
Now given that I merge various exported files to form the parcel outline, anytime I merge files from separate sessions take the same day, I will have this problem. In other words, if I take points in the more on the 15th of January, I will have log0115a....through whatever. I turn things off and start later that same day, I will again have log0115a....through whatever. If I try to merge the export of those files, I am likely to have the above problem.
In another support case he explained that you can "explode" symbols which leaves the same in the form of text, lines, points, etc. These won't mismatch.
Therefore:
Solution1: If Justin changes the output from symbols to text, points, lines, etc, then no problem.
Solution2: If I select all symbols and explode them, each file at the time when I save them to vcd (Visual CADD format) then I can merge them without problem.
Solution(?)3: There is probably something in Justin that allows me to change the name of the points in the second, etc session of the day. I haven't tried it but I imagine when I download the points from the receivers I can problem change the names in mass or change the names in mass after they are downloaded. I haven't done this but it should be easy.
