Feature Function
Benefit
•
Graphical viewing of all traverses,
distances, and angles with standard errors
of unit weight to aid in error analysis
COGO
commands,
including picker
controls
Powerful, interactive COGO commands include
•
Point editing and creation
•
Intersection of geometry objects
•
Street intersections
•
Cul-de-sac creation
•
Best fit curve and alignment
•
Manual traverse entry
•
Parallel offsets, including spiral offsets
•
Curves
•
Spirals
•
Compound curves
•
Location of points by bearing/distance or
angle/distance
•
Storage of curves by 1, 2, and 3 points or
by definition of any two curve components
•
Storage of concentric, nonconcentric, and
best fit curves (and many other curve
options)
•
Spiral, spiral-curve-spiral, and compound
spiral elements
•
Graphical and interactive intersection
commands for all geometry elements
(points, lines, curves, chains, and spirals)
•
Ability to recalculate COGO commands in
batch mode without having to start over
from the point of beginning
All COGO commands are
graphical and interactive,
increasing ease of use. Picker
controls provide access to
alternate COGO commands
within other COGO commands.
Because you stay within a single
command to perform multiple
COGO operations, you can avoid
jumping from command to
command. Combined, these
features help to make you more
productive.
Reduced survey
data
compatibility
Reduced Survey Data formats supported
include the following:
•
AutoCAD
®
DWG files
•
MicroStation
®
DGN files
•
TDS (Tripod Data Systems)
•
SDMS (AASHTO’s Survey Data Management
System)
•
Delimited ASCII files (including chain data)
from any system
•
CEFB (Cadastral Electronic Fieldbook)
through the XYZ file created from
processing
The ability to reuse data without
having to spend field time re-
collecting work in another
format helps to increase your
productivity.
General import
and processing
features
Provides tools to manage, process, and edit
data in manageable portions. General data
import and processing features include the
following:
•
Ability to sort data by source (raw, reduced,
DWG, DGN, and so forth) by using
segments
•
Automatic line creation from EFB, SDR,
TDS, and SDMS, and from delimited ASCII
files using a user-defined translation table
Automatically creates linework
from commands in the field
data with minimal or no change
in field procedures. The data
types can even be mixed in a
project without losing the ability
to automatically create
linework.
Sorts data by breaking it into
segments, so you can con-
centrate on a particular area
