Drawing options
Settings for different working processes can be done in the Options tab.
Direction: Choose between foresight and backsight.
- Foresight: Measure forwards from your known position to a place with unknown position.
- Backsight: Measure backwards from a place with known position to your unknown position.
Traverse mode: Choose between linear traverse and radial traverse
- Linear traverse: Measure a series of points. A measured point is the start position for the next measurement.
- Radial traverse: Measure a series of points. The start position is always the same.
Draw measures data automatically: Turn on this option if measured positions should be added to the map automatically. Otherwise each position must be confirmed by the user.
Add real world angle to azimut: Turn off this option if declination is already corrected by the laser range finder.
