 Precision:
Use this to control the decimal precision reported during stakeout routines.
 Store Data Note File
: This option specifies whether or not to store the stakeout data in the note file (.NOT) for
the current job. At the end of staking out a point, there is an option to store the staked coordinates in the current
job. Note (.NOT) files are associated with points, so you must store the point to also store the cutsheet note. This
additional data includes the target coordinates for reference. Keep in mind that the cut and fill data is also stored
in the raw file. You can also store an ASCII cutsheet file using the button at the bottom of the dialog, so storing
into the note file is somewhat redundant. FAST Survey does not show the cutsheet note within List Points (notes
turned on), since this feature only shows notes that begin with “Note:”. See command Cutsheet Report, option
Note File
.
 Control File Points have Priority for Stakeout
: This option, which applies to both total stations and GPS, will
give priority to the control file point during stakeout, when the point requested exists in both the current file and
the control file.
Note:
Use this option with care. You may not realize that this option is set, and will discover that
directions to your expected stakeout point of 10 are really based on a point 10 from another file altogether –
the control file.
 Use Automatic Descriptions:
This allows you to have descriptions automatically entered for staked locations
based on the settings defined by the Auto Descriptions dialog.
 Increment ID UP/Increment ID Down
: Within the Stake Points command, you may need to stake points in
decreasing order (see below). In this case, you can preset to Increment ID Down, so prompting would be 87, then
86, then 85, etc.
Stake Offset Desc
This allows you to define what the ID is called for each offset location in the Stake Offset routine.
