List Elevation (LELV):

This command allows the user to pick on an entity and retrieve the elevation of that point.

Field to Finish (F2F):

This command will redraw the linework created with Feature Codes based on the current coordinates of the points. So if

a GPS file was “processed” using a new localization, or a total station survey was adjusted, the existing linework made

by use of Feature Codes will erase and redraw by connecting to the adjusted coordinates. In this way, polylines on the

MAP screen created by field surveying will be redrawn to recapture their association with the adjusted point

coordinates. Note that linework created by Feature Codes will redraw automatically in all graphic screens after

coordinate positions or descriptions are edited within File-Points. The F2F command will restore linework to

point-based positions after erasing or moving linework on the screen.

Place World Image:

This command will attach an image database to the FAST Survey drawing. Image databases are georefenced aerial

photography or image maps. These image databases can contain mulitple large images that have been processed for

quick display in FAST Survey. The boundary for the image-set is shown by a dashed line. Images are inserted in

coordinate system and units of the image. Image databases are processed with the Image X-Port utility of Carlson

X-Port and take the form of IMD or IDB files. The option to Save Image Boundary Points creates points at the 4

corners of the image, allowing you to zoom to those points. However, Zoom Extents (upper left icon in MAP screen)

will zoom to the extents of the image if no points exist in the file.
