Allows a point in any points or station file, as well as any vertex in a DXF or Shape file to be set out.

 

 

The name of the project’s current points file is shown in the lower part of the screen. Clicking on the  button allows one to select any other points file.

 

Information about the points to be set out can be entered in any of the following ways:

 

·         Individual: Sets out an isolated point. The name of the first point in the current file is displayed by default. The point may also be selected directly from the list of any existing file by clicking on the  button.

·         Manual: Allows one to manually enter the coordinates of the point to be set out. This point can be saved in the current file by clicking on the Save button. It will be assigned with the number of the last point plus 1.

 

 

·         Code: Sets out the file’s points having the code indicated.

·         Graphic: Allows one to select a point graphically. A drawing containing the existing project’s cartography, points and stations is displayed. In order to select a point, the   button should be clicked, then, the point selected and lastly accept button clicked. By default, the program selects the nearest point, but also, it allows disabling this option through the options menu from the title bar.

The setting out screen also shows this button to allow the point to be switched without having to leave the data input screen.

 

  

 

·         Interval: Allows one to set out from the initial to the final point in accordance with the interval entered. This sets the number of positions jumped within the file.

·         Station: Allows one to select a point from any station file.

·         Nearest: Sets out the nearest point to the current position. Once this point is set out, it continues to set out the next closest point. The process continues until all the points in the current file are set out.

 

By marking the Exclude Points Set Out option, any points saved in the current results file are not taken into account. This filter is not taken into account in the Manual option.

 

Once the information on the point to set out is supplied, the next screen is displayed:

 

    

 

 

The  buttons are displayed if the Code or Interval options were selected, which enable one to move from one point to another. It is also possible to go directly to a point by entering its name in the option New Point in the context menu.

 

The survey option can be accessed directly in order to record points through the Survey option in the context menu. The new points saved will not form part of the current list of points to be set out.

 

The information allowing a point to be set out is as follows:

 

Name of the numerical information mode in brackets. (North)

 

Current point number. P 1

 

Existing distance between the current position and the point to be set out. D 2.75

 

Measured height. MH 561.79.

 

Distance to be moved to the right or left. Rgt 2.09 . Done is indicated when this distance is less than the transversal tolerance indicated in the configuration.

 

Distance to be moved forwards or backwards. Fwd 1.79. Done is indicated when this distance is less than the longitudinal tolerance indicated in the configuration.

 

Distance to rise (R) or fall (L) to achieve the theoretical elevation. L 0.20.  H OK is indicated when the elevation difference is less than the vertical tolerance indicated in the configuration.

 

In this setting option it is also possible to calculate areas and distances directly on the map without the need to go to the option Tools > Areas between Points.
