Adjust with Projection – Results

The Adjust with Projection Results screen is used to

preview the results of the adjustment before anything is

applied to the job file. The default view is to list the
action and results only for points that will be updated in

the adjustment. You can tap Show all points to update
the list to show the reason unchanged points are not
adjusted.

1. Review the results.

2. Tap Apply to update the job.


Projection Calculator

You can use the Projection Calculator to calculate combined scale

factor for scaling conventional distance measurements to the
mapping plane. You can also use the Projection Calculator to

calculate meridian convergence for reducing geodetic azimuths (such
as a sun shot) to grid bearings.

Scale Factor Calculator

1. Go to the Survey > Projection Calculator screen.
2. Choose a point on the mapping plane for scale computation in the

Select Point

control. Tap Solve Scale>.

3. Enter a height to compute Ellipsoid Scale Factor. This calculation

uses the height of the point above the ellipsoid to correct for the
effect of the terrain above the reference surface.

4. Tap Solve> to calculate the combined scale factor with the

selected values. The combined scale factor is displayed in the
Ground to Grid

box. The inverse combined factor is displayed in

the Grid to Ground box.
