Traverse

Add point by entering distance and angle.

This function allows you to reduce a conventional simple traverse, in which it is assumed that all distance reductions have been carried out separately, and that the distances supplied have been reduced to the horizontal. Therefore, it does not require the entry of the vertical angles.

In the example below, the Traverse leg TR1 to TR2 has the distance 94.88m and bearing 276.4208ø.

Procedure

The drawing must be in Surveyor Mode, or the program displays the following message and exits from the function.



If the drawing is not in Surveyor Mode, you can change the coordinate system in Drawing Settings.

1. You are prompted to indicate a setup station.

2. Click on the setup station.

3. You are asked:

Click Yes to accept automatic naming of each leg of the traverse viz TR1,TR2; or click No if you want to give each leg of the traverse a different name.

4. If you click Yes, you are prompted to:

5. Accept the default base name "TR", or enter your own.

6. Accept the start number "1" to be added to the base name, or enter your own.

7. You are asked:

8. Click YesIf you want to add lines between the traverse points. If so, you are asked if you want survey dimensions.

Click Yes if you want survey dimensions between points.

9. You are prompted to:

10. Enter the flat distance of the horizontal leg of the traverse.

11. You are prompted to:

12. Enter the bearing of traverse leg. The traverse point is added at the specified distance and bearing. The calculated point is added to the drawing.
