Create a code

| |

• To create a new code from the Survey codes page click Job.

• Click Points/Measurements/Codes.

• Open the Codes tab.

• Click Add.

  

• The data of the code is organised in pages.

Main data page

• This page allows to enter code name, description and drawing type.

  

  • 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.

  • GIS features: one of the GIS features from the current job can be assigned to the point. More information can be added defined by the properties of the associated GIS feature.

Layer & color page

• These are the settings for the single layer. When creating a layer, the default settings saved in the main Settings page are displayed. The settings here can be changed.

  

  • Layer: layer linked to point.

  • 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: color used for the point symbol if the layer color is not used.

  • Line type: line type used if the line type by later is not used.

  • Symbol size: dimension of the symbol.

• Click on the arrow near the Layer to open the Layer manager.

• Click on the arrow near the Line type to open the Line types manager.

• Click GIS Features button to open the GIS features manager.

Symbol

• This 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 used to draw the point to which the code is associated from the list.

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