Create/edit a survey code

Create a new code

• To create a new code select New from the survey codes list.

  

• Data of the code are organized in pages.

Main data

• The page allows to enter the ID of the code, the description and the type of drawing associated.

  

  • Code: short code name.

  • Description: extended description of the code.

  • Drawing: the code defines how the measured object is graphically represented. When a drawing is selected, the software selects automatically the corresponding Smart Drawing Tool. the available types are:

    • Single point: The measured object is represented by a single point. Example: tree, lighting pole.

    • Line: the measured object is represented by a polyline. Example: road edge, wall.

    • Diagonal square: the measured object has a square shape and is defined by measuring two opposite corner points.

    • Square center: the measured object has a square shape and is defined by measuring the center point and the midpoint of one side.

    • Rectangle base: the measured object has a rectangular shape and is defined by measuring the two endpoints of the base and one point on the opposite side.

    • Rectangle center: the measured object has a rectangular shape and is defined by measuring the center point, the midpoint of one side, and a third point on the opposite side.

Layer

• The following page allows to enter the layer and other graphical features of the code.

  

  • Layer: layer associated to point. Tap to select a different layer from the Layer manager. In the Layer manager is also possible to create new layers entering the color and the line type associated with the layer.

    

  • Color by layer: specifies whether to use the layer color for drawing the point symbol.

  • Color: color to use to draw the point symbol (if the layer color is not used).

  • Symbol size: dimension of the symbol.

Symbol

• The page allows to select a symbol and access the Symbol manager.

  

  • Symbol: specifies the symbol used to represent the point associated with the code. Press Symbols to open the Symbol Manager. In the Symbol Manager, select a symbol to delete it or press Import to import new symbols from a DXF file. For each block contained in the DXF file, the maximum dimension is calculated and a corresponding scale factor is automatically applied to ensure correct symbol representation. Warning: blocks intended to be used as symbols must be composed of basic entities such as lines, polylines, arcs, and circles, and should have limited dimensions.

    

Edit a code

• To edit a code select the code from the table and select Edit from the menu.

  

• The content of the window is the same still seen for creation of a new code.
