Similarly, whenever a new job is created, a Points layer is
automatically created and selected as the active layer. The active
layer is the default layer where any new objects will be stored.
Managing Layers
You can configure Survey Pro to prompt for a layer whenever an
object is stored. If this prompt is turned off, any new objects that are
stored will simply be stored to the active layer. There are three
screens within the
-RE 6HWWLQJV screen to configure this prompt.
There is a
;
Prompt for Layer checkbox in the Surveying Settings, the
Stakeout Settings and the General Settings. The first affects if you
are prompted for a layer only when new data is stored from the
routines within the Survey menu. Likewise, the second affects only
data stored from the routines in the Stakeout menu. The prompt in
the General Settings affects if you are prompted for a layer when data
is stored from any other routines, such as the COGO routines.
Most layer management is performed from the
-RE 0DQDJH /D\HUV screen. This screen allows
you to add, delete, rename and change the
visibility of the various layers. You can also set
the active layer from here. This screen is also
available from several different locations, such as
the new Map Display Options screen and any of
the controls that allow you to select layers. The
Ctrl
-[K] hotkey can also be used to access the
Manage Layers screen.
Changing the Active Layer
To change the active layer, tap the desired layer and then tap the
6HW $FWLYH button. There must always be an active layer and there
can only be one active layer at a time. The active layer is marked
with the symbol.
