These are the basic coordinate geometry routines that are most frequently used for design and simple survey calculations. They deal in the horizontal plane only, and depend on the relevant points being called by name. Refer to the graphical section for an alternate system.
Procedure
Like all the functions in the Survey section that use names to retrieve the points from the database, if a coordinated point is required for the calculation and cannot be found, there is an opportunity to either type in the known coordinate values, or to change the name and search the database again.
When a name is provided for a newly calculated point, the database is first searched for that point. If it is found, the existing values are replaced with those generated in the current calculation. If it is not found, a new point with that name and position is added to the database.
