18. Network DGPS: Point Naming
Specify the parameters for naming a new point. When adding a new point, its name can be formed by using an increment or decrement to its sequential number, and adding prefixes or suffixes. You can form the names for all points in such a way, except for stacked points.
To configure point naming and other parameters, use the Point panel:
- Increment Point Number: the increment / decrement value. If you select "0" in the field, the next point number will remain unchanged. The Point Check dialog will be opened for saving such point. You can save this point as a check point
- Prefix/Suffix: a prefix or suffix to form the name of a 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 projects. To open this dialog, click
in the Prefix/Suffix field.
Example:
The number in the Point field of the Topo dialog is 200. You specified "-1" in the Increment Point Number field and use "_MGN" Suffix. The number of the next point will be "199_MGN".
- Measure nearest point: if this check box is selected, then the following will occur during a survey:
- When measuring a point within the specified range, the Objects near selected point dialog will be displayed listing all the points within the range.
- On attempt to measure a point out of specified range, a respective warning will be shown. A user will be asked to choose whether he wants:
- to measure and store such a point or
- to cancel the measurement at current position.
The desired range is specified in the Range field.
To set parameters for storing staked points, use the Staked Point panel:
- 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:
- Design Point name.
- Next Point name.
- Design Pt Prefix (for example, "stk_01", where "stk_" is the prefix). The choice of the default prefix appears only when the corresponding item is chosen from the drop-down menu.
- Design Pt Suffix (for example, "01_stk", where "_stk" is the suffix). The choice of the default suffix appears only when the corresponding item is chosen from the drop-down menu.
- Design Pt+Constant. A specified numerical constant can be added to automatically generate the staked point name. For example, if the constant specified is "1000", and the design point number is "100", the staked point would be named "1100" (that is, 100+1000). If the design point number is alphanumeric, the constant is appended to the name. For example, for a design point named "ALPHA", the corresponding staked out point will be named "ALPHA1000".
- Range Start. Any start value of a range can be selected.
-
The Note can be set to either Design Point name, Design Pt Prefix, Design Pt Suffix, Station & Offset or None. If the Station & Offset option is selected, an edit box for entering an alphanumeric prefix is displayed, pre-filled with the default value:
- for the United States, this prefix is "Sta.";
- for the international markets the prefix is "SP.";
- for the Korean/Japanese markets the prefix is "NO."
With the Station & Offset option selected, depending on the choice of 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.
