d.

For this example, simply accept the default
job settings and tap

1H[W ! .

Note: When creating a new job, it is important that
the

Units for Distances

field be set to the correct

units. This allows you to seamlessly switch between
different units in mid-job.

Problems can arise if these units are inadvertently
set to the incorrect units prior to entering new data.
For example, assume you created a control file by
hand-entering a list of coordinates in a new job
where the job was set to

Feet

and the coordinates

were in

US Survey Feet

. Now assume you created

another new job and correctly set it to

US Survey

Feet

. If you then selected the previous job as a control file for the new

job, the display of all of the coordinates in the control file would be
converted from Feet to US Survey Feet.
