Using the graphic screen selection of points, you also have the ability to see the last point picked. So if you are selecting
a series of tightly-spaced "endpoints" of lines, using the endpoint snap, you can see your last point, and pick the next
one, by reference.
The last point selected is shown by a pencil, so if you are staking endpoints right-to-left, you select the next point shown
illustrated here by an arrow. The previous "snap" used, such as "endpoint snap" highlighted above, is the default,
allowing you to pick the next point immediately. If you don't pick a new point but instead click on the orange arrow, the
program will default to the highlighted point (indicated by the pencil), and you will be re-staking the last point selected.
So this option allows you to re-stake the last point and also reference the last point when staking another.
Note: The graphics screen will show text such as stationing (eg. 235+00) or lot numbers if the text is first converted to
polylines before being imported as a DXF or DWG file. Carlson Survey, for example, has a command called "Text to
Polylines" that can be used to convert standard text into polylines for presentation within FAST Survey and other
programs.

While in Stakeout, and without leaving the command, the Helmet can be used to access various reports and even
conduct basic editing. When the Helmet (in the upper left) is clicked, the dropdown menu of "quick access" options
appears:
