right/left distance depending upon your reference settings in Configure Reading. You should see your points and arc in
the map with an icon of the point you need to stakeout to (the circle with the X inside). When using GPS, after
selecting OK to the Stakeout Arc dialog, you will be placed in the Map screen at your current position with
continuously updating instructions to the stakeout point.
Stake Line/Arc (Station/Offset)
When Stake Station Interval is clicked on, then selecting OK on the Define Line, Define Alignments or Define Arc
dialogs presents the Stake Line dialog for defining the stake location parameters (e.g. station, offset, interval and even
elevation).
 Station
: This is where you enter the station to stakeout.
 Station +:
You can advance to the next station as defined by the alignment points or station interval using
the right green arrow icon.
 Station -: You can go back to the previous station as defined by the alignment points or station interval using
the left green arrow icon.
 Station List: Select a specific station using the station list icon.
 Interval:
This is where you choose the distance by which to increment the stations.
 Calculate Interval:
This is used to divide the entire line into equal parts, which results in a calculated,
non-rounded, incremental station.
 Offset/Skew List
: This is where you enter in the offset distance from the line. Select one of the left/right radio
buttons to determine the offset side. This list also provides additional methods of offsetting, such as Skewed
Offsets, Bisectors, Intersections and PI or Radius Points. A Skew Forward angle is measured forward from the
perpendicular, and a Skew Back angle is measured back from the perpendicular. So looking forward down a
tangent centerline, a pipe with a skew of 70 degrees (in DD.MMSS) from the forward tangent would be a Forward
