Field Code Escape

I’m brushing up on my survey coding methods. To add a comment to the codes use a / (forward slash) to indicate a comment. The comments can be embedded into coding by adding another / (forward slash) at the end of the comment.

For instance the field book code below:

EP1 B/parking space line/LN CPN211

is read into Civil 3D as:

EP1 B LN CPN211

since Civil 3D ignores the comment.
