TPC Desktop Introduction 11
Managing Traverses
From the TPC Desktop menu, choose
Manage
|
Traverses
. TPC displays the Traverses
manager.
You can insert new traverses next to other
traverses or append them to the end of the list.
You can group similar traverses together. Make
a copy of a traverse that shares the same
survey points or duplicate a traverse so that it
has its own unique survey points.
Most of the time however, you’ll just double
click a traverse to open it in a Traverse View.
Traverse View
The Traverse View manages a
traverse. You can enter, edit
or recall points, change data
entry formats, view and print
the traverse.
You format the Traverse View
to include the column
sequence you want. Now enter
your data and watch as TPC
computes the points for you.
Or recall existing points into a
traverse to see their relationships (inverses). Display each point in a single row (as shown here)
or use two rows per points like a conventional field book.
Multiple Traverse Views
You can have multiple Traverse Views
open at one time, allowing you to
compare record data with actual
measurements or one deed against
another.
Traverse View Formats
With TPC, you do lots of things in the
Traverse View. Having the right
sequence of columns to display just the
information you want is important, so
TPC lets you save your favorite
formats for re-use in any traverse. Give your formats unique names like GPS Points, Control 3D
or Deed w/Curves.
