Measuring Features
1. When everything is set up correctly (see Station Setup on
page 19), tap Measure Features from the Layout menu. You
may choose to measure either points or a line.
2. Enter a description (if desired) for the line or point being
measured. Tap Shoot. The feature is measured and the
result automatically stored.
3. Repeat as necessary until all points have been measured.
Using Layout Pro Field Software to Import/Export Data
Tap Data Center on the main menu. From the submenu, you
can do the following:
• Import DXF: Layout Pro creates a background map from the
imported DXF data.
• Export DXF: Layout Pro exports the open job to a DXF file.
• Import Points: Layout Pro can import an ASCII file
containing point coordinates. The points are created in a
new job file and that file is automatically open for use.
• Export Points: Layout Pro exports all the points from the
open job to a text file. You can choose the separator (a
comma or a tab).
• Export Layout Data: For each staked point, Layout Pro
provides the coordinates of the design point and the
corresponding as-staked point, as well as the horizontal
and vertical deviations between the two points.
• Export Deviation Data: Layout Pro creates a text file listing
all the staked points with their horizontal and vertical
deviations compared to the respective design points.
• Out of Tolerance Report: Layout Pro provides a report of all
the points that are staked out of tolerance.
