Create/edit a survey code

• A Survey code allows the precise identification of points and to automate many operations to complete a drawing of the survey.

• To create a new code from the Codes tab click Add.

  

• To edit a code long-press on a code to open the context-menu and press Edit.

  

Main data page

• The Main data page allows to enter or change the main code properties.

  

  • Code: name of the code. For a parametric codes use symbol # in code name to pass a value from code name to description automatically. For example code “D#” and description “Distance #cm”: entering in application code “D25” will result in description “Distance 25cm”.

  • Description: extended description.

  • Drawing type: defines how the measured object is shown in graphics.

    • Single point: a single position is used, for example for a tree or an illumination pole.

    • Line: a polyline is used, for example for the side of a road or a wall.

    • Square diagonal: a square is used inserted at the opposite end of the measured point.

    • Square center: a square is used inserted at the centre of the measured object or in the middle of a measured line.

    • Rectangle base: a rectangle is used inserted at the opposite end of the measured point of the base and a point on the opposite side.

    • Rectangle center: a rectangle is used inserted at the centre, the middle point on a side and a third point on the other side.

    • Circle 3P: a circle is used inserted by measuring three points on the circumference.

    • Circle center: a circle is used inserted by measuring the center point and a point on the circumference.

    • Spline: a spline is used.

    • Control point: a control point measurement is used.

  • Feature GIS: a GIS features from the current GIS Features manager can be assigned to the point. More information can be added defined by the properties of the associated GIS feature. When a point with a code with associated a Feature GIS is measured, the user is prompted to enter the corresponding GIS attributes.

Layer & color page

• Layer & color page shows the layer and color properties of the objects associated with the code.

  

  • Layer: layer of the objects associated with the code. Tap on the layer to open the Layers manager.

  • Color and line type by layer: the color and line type of the layer is used for the drawing of the point symbol and its line type.

  • Color: if Color and line type by later is disabled, Color allows to select the color to use.

  • Line type: if Color and line type by later is disabled, Line type allows to define the line type. Tap on the line type to open the Linetypes manager.

  • Symbol size: dimension of the symbol.

Symbol

• The Symbol page allows to assign a symbol to a code.

  

• It is possible to use default symbols or import new symbols from DWG file.

• Select a symbol from the list to assign it to the code.

• Click Symbols button to open the Symbols manager and importing new symbols.
