Survey codes

| |

• Survey codes allow the precise identification of points and to automate many operations to complete a drawing of the survey.

• For every code, information can be added:

  • Description.

  • Symbol and layer: based on the code, points are represented with a certain symbol and on a certain layer.

  • GIS feature. The GIS feature is composed by a group of properties freely definable by the user. When a code or a GIS feature is associated to a point it is possible to integrate the point with the information corresponding to properties defined by the feature.

• Survey codes can be defined in a parametric way that generate a corresponding parametric long description.

• Different libraries of codes can be defined and used in different jobs. The current library can be exchanged with a different one.

• To open the Codes page click Job.

• Click Points/Measurements/Codes.

• Open the Codes tab.

  

Code libraries are saved as files in the directory X-PAD\_Data\Codes. Files have *.xml extension.

It is possible to manage the code library using Office Fusion.
