Point Naming

In the Topo Point panel you can set a value to increment / decrement the Topo points number when adding a new point. Also, you can add a prefix or suffix for the point. If your job does not have predefined values of the prefix or suffix, you can create these values in the List of Suffixes/ Prefixes dialog and use in other jobs. To open this dialog, click in the Prefix/Suffix field.

Example:
You set "-1" in the Increment Point Number field and use "_GR5" Suffix. The first number of Topo point in your job is 200. The number of first measured RTK point will be "199_GR5".

Note: If you select "0" in the Increment Point Number field, the previous point name will be used for the current point. The Point Check dialog will be opened for saving such point. You can save this point as a check point.

In the Staked Point panel you can set the parameters for storing staked points:

  1. In the Name As field, select a method to set the number for the first staked point. The initial point name can be set to:
  2. The Note can be set to either Design Point name, Design Point with a prefix, Design Point with a suffix, or None. Also, it can be Station & Offset information. If the Station & Offset option is activated, an edit box for entering an alphanumeric prefix appears. For the United States, this prefix is “Sta.”, for the international markets the prefix is “SP.”, and for the Korean / Japanese markets the prefix is “NO.”. With this option activated, depending on the choice for the prefix, MAGNET Field automatically generates one note for each stakeout point: Sta.5+5.5R5.0, SP.505.5R5.0, or NO.5+5.5R5.0 respectively.
