6 TPC Desktop Introduction
Introducing the TPC Desktop™
You do everything from the TPC Desktop - everything
! We’ll introduce you to many of the
individual views in this booklet, but for now, let’s look at the desktop itself.
Open the Views You Use
To get the most out of TPC Desktop, open just the views you use. If you don’t use Point Codes,
don’t open it. This keeps the desktop streamlined and efficient. You can also group views
together using tabs. This frees up other areas of the desktop for other things. In the example
below, we’ve left lots of room for our drawing.
Synchronized Views
As you enter or edit survey data in one view, the changes are reflected in every other view. So go
ahead, add a point to a traverse and it shows up automatically in the drawing and the Points
manager. Or update the position of a point with one of the COGO tools and watch the line labels
in the drawing update automatically to reflect the change.
