This dialog allows you to configure:
From the pop-up menu that displays by clicking
in the top left corner, you can configure how Custom symbols will be displayed.
Quick Codes and Groups
Quick Code is a code that appears in a box on the Map and allows you to take measurements with this code in Quick mode in Topo survey (for GNSS survey and for Optical survey), and to log now in Auto Topo survey by clicking the box. Quick Codes are grouped into Code Groups; each of the groups can include up to nine codes.
- To enable a quick code group, click to the left of its name. The currently active group is marked with
. Only one group can be active at a time.
- To create a new quick code group:
- Click Add. The Quick Codes Group window displays.
- Name the group in the Group name field.
- Select the check box next to the code.
- Enter the name of the desired code. You can type in the name of an existing code or select it from the drop-down list. If you type in a new name, the Code dialog will open after you click
. It will help you to create a new code. - For a line or area code, enter a string value.
- Define more codes if necessary.
- Confirm creating a quick code group by clicking
.
- To edit the existing group of codes, select it in the list and click Edit.
- To delete, select the group in the list and click Delete.
Code Settings
The Settings tab allows you to configure global settings for codes:
- In Default New Type, set the default type for a new code. If set to Prompt, you will be prompted to define the new code when storing points.
- In Data Entry, set the preferred entry mode between Notes and Codes for Survey dialogs.
-
In Code Library, click the Browse button to select the Global Code file to be used along with the codes in the job.
Note: The default code file (MAGNETDefCodeLib.mxl) is installed automatically in the tpsdata folder upon MAGNET Field installation.
- The global setting Code with Description toggles the display of descriptions for Codes.
- Selecting Allow Custom Control Codes allows you to define custom control codes and enables you to select them as persistent for Survey dialogs (this selection can be done in the Persistence tab).
Symbols
This dialog allows you to configure display settings for custom symbols.
Scalable symbols - the Size field contains the normalization value that defines in which size custom symbols will be displayed on the map. All custom symbols that have "Scalable" flag will be normalized (scaled up or shrunk to) to the specified value when displayed. The value is specified in current job units - meters or feet, and refers to the map scale.
Non-scalable symbols - the Proposed Scale field contains the scale value (1:1000.00 by default) to define the size in which non-scalable symbols will be displayed on the map. The value refers to the map scale.
Code Prompts
In the Prompts tab, select the appropriate boxes in the Prompt for Code in field to be prompted for setting codes when storing points in:
- GNSS Survey
- Optical Survey
- Stakeout
- Calculate Routines
Persistence
During a survey routine, you can specify one or several codes for the point you measure (Point Attributes). If you want to repeat these codes for your next measured points, check the respective options in the Persistence tab. The same is for notes - you can make a note persistent for all consequent points.
Check the respective boxes to set the necessary persistence with the help of these options:
- Codes - allows to keep the codes for the next measured points.
- Multi-codes - allows to keep the multi-codes (Multiple Codes) for the next measured points.
- Attributes - allows to keep the attribute (Attributes) values so the next measured point(s) with the same code retain the current Attributes.
- Custom Control Codes - allows to keep the custom control codes for the next measured points. The option is only available when the Allow Custom Control Codes is checked in the Settings tab.
- Notes - when checked, the note you have entered for the measured point (the Note tab) will be used by default for the subsequent (next measured) points.
