Were the points "already in the drawing" added to your coordinate file? If you are given only a drawing file that has carlson points already in it, but are given no .crd or .txt. file for those coordinates, they do not exist as far as the software is concerned.
What you need to do is open your coordinate file (set it current) and then under point utilities click on update crd file from drawing and window all of the points that you were given. Now your new coordinate file should have all of the points.
