• The tab allows to set different display parameters of the CAD workspace.

• Click Settings.

• Click CAD.

Survey tab

• Survey tab allows to change the display in CAD of survey entities.

  

• Survey display filters

  • Topographic points: turns on/off the display of stored points.

  • Reference points: turns on/off the display of reference points.

  • Stakeout points: turns on/off the display of stakeout points.

  • Collaborative points: turns on/off the display of collaborative points shared in a collaborative survey with X-PAD 365.

  • Measure lines: turns on/off the display of measure lines.

  • Drawing by codes: turns on/off the display of drawing by codes.

  • Parcels: turns on/off the display of parcels.

Points tab

• Points tab allows to change the visualization in CAD of points and point labels.

  

• Points display filters

  • Point name: turns on/off the display of the point name.

  • Point elevation: turns on/off the display of the point elevation.

  • Point code: turns on/off the display of the point code.

  • Point description: turns on/off the display of the point description.

  • Point symbol: turns on/off the display of the point symbol.

• Points symbol and label size

  • Point size: allows to set the size used to display the text of labels.

  • Auto size labels in 3D: turns on/off automatic text size management when 3D display is active. If the option is active, the size of the text changes depending on the distance. The closest text is displayed with a larger size than text further away.

CAD tab

• The CAD tab allows to change the display settings of the CAD.

  

• Display filters

  • Line double thickness: turns on/off the display of drawing elements with a doubled thickness.

  • Mono color drawing: turns on/off the display of colours for drawing element.

  • Autocenter in drawing: turns on/off the automatic centring of the drawing. During drawing operations, each time a CAD location is set, it is shown in the centre of the graphical window.

  • Curve approximation: allows to define how curves are visualized. On controller with low-performance a setting to define a lower curve approximation may increase the CAD performance with drawing with lot of curves and arcs.

  • Grid: turns on/off the display of the grid in the CAD window.

  • Grid step: sets the steps of the grid.

  • Font anti-aliasing: turns on/off the anti-aliasing for the texts.
