;
Use Scale Factor : when checked, horizontal distances to all new
points will be scaled by the factor entered here. Elevations are not
affected.
&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 fist be prompted to select one.
;
Prompt to Reset Scale on New Setups : if checked when a map
projection is selected and you setup over a new location, the specified
scale factor is compared to the scale factor defined for your current
location in the mapping plane. If the scale factor is different, you will
be prompted to use the new scale factor.
Stakeout Settings
The Stakeout Settings contains the setting that control how stakeout
is performed.
Stake “Corners,” Not Just Even Intervals : when
staking by stations, locations where a line
segment changes, such as from a straight
section to a curve, will also be staked when this
is checked.
Always Start Stakeout With Coarse Mode :
when checked, the Coarse EDM (fast shot)
checkbox found in all stakeout screens will
initially be checked. This instructs the total
station to measure distances faster, but with
slightly less accuracy.
Use Manual Updating (Remote Control) : When this is checked, an
8SGDWH button in the stakeout screens must be pressed to take a shot.
When this not checked, shots are continuously taken in the stakeout
screens. (This is only valid when running in remote mode using a
robotic total station.)
;
Design Elevation from Offset Segment : When checked during
offset or road stakeout, cut and fill information will be computed from
