Items can be added to the list by using the key <Insert>. After pressing it, a dialog window appears where you can fill in the required information.
While adding items on the coordinate list, a non-modal window is displayed allowing you to move between the individual items using also the key <Enter>. Some items can be turned off using the check field on the right of the pertinent item, so you do not have to skip data which you did not enter or which does not change. The turned off windows will be skipped while entering the data. If you turn off the point number, it will be automatically increased by one, but you don't have to confirm it constantly. If you turn off the set code, it will be assigned to all other points without confirming until the next change.
After entering the last required data, the point is automatically added to the list, and the cursor is placed on it in all the windows of the pertinent list and the number is increased by one. You do not have to confirm the prefix; if you wish to change it, you can get to it using a mouse or the key <Shift-Tab>.
The point is added to the list according to the set point sorting. If a point of such number already exists, the program will offer you the option to leave the old point on the list or to save the new point whose coordinates are calculated as an average of the old and new points.
If you are adding point with a number which already exists on the list to the coordinate list a, the program will display a window with all the information on the new point, the coordinate differences, and other information (see the figure).
In this situation, you have the following options:
-
To choose a new number for the point. The number can be entered in the input window for the point number.
-
To leave the original coordinates. Choose the item Old for the station and the height.
-
To save the new coordinates. Choose the item New for the station and height.
-
To average the new coordinates with the original ones. Choose the item Average for the station and the height. In this case you can also choose the importance of the original and new coordinates.
-
A combination of the above options. The processing method can be chosen independently for the station and the height. So you can leave the original coordinates X and Y, but enter a new height.
Information on so processed point will appear in the protocol, including the coordinate differences and other data.
The dialog window for adding a measurement is modal; you have to use the key <Tab> to switch between the items.
To enter the values, choose the type of the point (Station / Orientation / Measured point) and choose whether it is a diagonal distance which you want to reduce and whether the distance should be multiplied by the scale coefficient.
The item on the measured data list is at the place of the cursor.
