The road card, Roads report screen – Spectra Precision Survey Pro v4.9 User Manual
Page 215
The New Road screen is identical to the
screen and is used to assemble the parts of a road or edit an
existing road. This screen consists of five separate index card style tabs. Each tab accesses a different card that is used
to define a particular part of the road.
The Road Card
[Roads] [Edit Roads] ([New…] or [Edit…]) [Road]
The Road card of the New Road screen is used to select the alignment to use for the road.
Road Name: is the name assigned to the road. The name must not be the same as any existing road name.
Alignment Description: displays the name of the selected alignment.
[Choose Alignment]: opens the
screen where an existing alignment can be selected.
[Check]: checks the road for errors and displays the results in the
[View Profiles]: opens the
screen where you can see information about the cross-sectional profile of the
road at any station.
[Set POB…]: opens the
screen where information about the current alignment can be
changed.
Roads Report Screen

The Roads Report screen displays a list of any errors after performing the following tests:
