Auto Topo

The dialog enables you to initiate a dynamic survey and can run in two views: Normal and Map.

The dialog contains the Status panel along the top.

To avoid cluttering of the elements displayed on the map at the current zoom level, they are combined. Closely positioned points are displayed as a single point with a bracketed number of hidden points next to its name: for example, P001{5}, where 5 is the number of hidden (not displayed) points. If there are more than 99 cluttered points, they will be displayed as {99+}. Hidden elements become visible with the further zoom in.
