Surveying Settings
The Surveying Settings card allows you to select various options that
affect how data collection is performed.
;
Prompt for Description : When checked, a
prompt for a description will appear before any
new point is stored from only the routines under
the Survey menu (Page R-71).
Note: Descriptions can be no longer than 16
characters.
;
Prompt for Height of Rod : When checked, a
prompt for the rod height will appear before any
new point is stored.
;
Survey with True Azimuths : automates the process of adjusting the
circle on the total station when traversing so that you can survey
with azimuths rather than horizontal angles (see Page R-77).
;
Adjust for Earth Curvature / Refraction : when checked, the
elevations for new points are adjusted to compensate for the
curvature of the earth and refraction.
;
Prompt for Layer : When checked, a prompt to select a layer will
appear before any new point is stored from only the routines under
the Survey menu (Page R-71).
;
Prompt for Attributes : When checked, a prompt to select feature
information will appear before any new point is stored from only the
routines under the Survey menu (Page R-71). This also requires that
a feature file be selected from the Files Settings card, described
above.
;
Use Scale Factor : when checked, horizontal distances to all new
points will be scaled by the factor entered here. (Elevations are not
affected.) This defaults to unchecked when a new job is created.
&DOF 6FDOH : allows you to automatically compute the scale factor
from a selected map projection. If a mapping plane is not already
selected, you will first be prompted to select one.
