To list all the DXF jobs stored in the receiver, select the
DXF extension from the
Type combo box.
Note that MobileMapper Field can also support ESRI’s
AXF database format for GIS data. After you have
downloaded one of these files to your receiver, you can
open it with MobileMapper Field and add or modify
entities the same way as you would in an open MAP or DXF
job. You cannot however create a new AXF file with
MobileMapper Field. You cannot either add or remove
layers to/from an AXF job.
To list all the AXF jobs stored in the receiver, select the
AXF extension from the
Type combo box.
• After you have found the job you wish to open, tap on its
name in the list. This opens the job and takes you to the
map screen where you can see the features already logged
in the different layers.
Viewing the
Properties of the
Open Job
• Tap Menu>Job>Properties. MobileMapper Field then
displays a two-tab window. The first tab provides the job’s
name, type and location (folder). The second one views
the properties (projection and datum) of the coordinate
system used in the job.
• Tap OK (or press ESC on MobileMapper 100/120 or
MobileMapper 6) to return to the map screen.
Using Templates
To Create New
Jobs
When creating a new job in a given format (MAP or DXF) while
a job of the same format is currently open, once you have
named that new job and specified in which folder to save it,
MobileMapper will prompt you to use the open job as a
template for the new job. What does that imply if you choose
“Yes”?
• For a MAP job:
MobileMapper Field will create a “”
folder in the specified folder to which all the layers found
in the template job will be copied.
The copied layers will be emptied (i.e. all features
deleted) so that you can start collecting new features from
scratch using these layers, which are now fully part of the
new job.
Remember that each of the copied layer will keep exactly
the same name, and same attributes, as the one from
which it is derived. (see also diagram below):
