Traverse Calculations

Traverse Coordination (Northing / Easting Only) - This new option will compute the horizontal position using a scaled distance which is derived by applying the input scale factor to the distances stored in the traverse file. However, the elevation will be computed using the raw (un-scaled) distance

Normalize Raw Traverse Measurements - A new command is now available in the Active Traverse Editor, which will normalize Face 2 total station measurements to Face 1. This is necessary for users who want to perform a 3D Least Squares Adjustment.

Show Traverse Graphically - A new option in the Show Traverse command now allows lines to be drawn showing SK stake records.

Detect Invalid Records on Import - When importing a RAW or RW5 file (including FieldGenius projects), each line is verified that it contains the correct number of data fields. This is because importing some RAW files which contained invalid records could cause a crash (i.e., LS records containing an HR but not an HI).

Detect Current RAW File on Import - When importing FieldGenius projects containing multiple RAW files, the FieldGenius project's INI file is checked to detect the current raw file, and that is set as the current Traverse after import.

Point Calculations

Multiple Coordinate Systems - The Active Coordinate Editor can be configured to display your point coordinates as transformed into up to 2 cartesian systems and 2 geodetic system.

Draw Coordinate Tables - Create coordinate tables and/or coordinate conversion tables in your drawing by selecting the columns and rows you want to include from the Active Coordinate Editor.

Stakeout - More intuitive dialog layout and workflow in the Stakeout command including...

• You can now specify any description for the computed stake points instead of the previous "FSTAKE" description.
• You can now specify zero offset distances to compute stake points directly on the line/arc.
• As each new stake point is computed, if a point already exists at the same position then you are now prompted for whether you to store the new point or not.

Last Used Geodetic Coordinate Systems - When selecting coordinate systems, the last used system will be remembered as a default and automatically selected again the next time you use the same command.

Recently Used Geodetic Coordinate Systems - When selecting coordinate systems, a list of your most recently used systems is available for quickly selecting your typical settings

Input/Output Scale Factors

Input Scale Factor works with All Commands - The Input Scale Factor specified in the General Configuration Options screen can now be applied to ALL distance inputs in the program, by specifying an "s" (for scale) suffix after the distance, for example 100s or 100S. Scaling was previously limited to only the MicroSurvey commands, but now also works with all CAD drawing, modification, and settings commands. Use the s suffix anywhere you can enter distances, including at the command line, in dialog boxes, and even when typing coordinate values like "100s,100s".

Inverse between Input Scale Factor and Output Scale Factor - The Input Scale Factor and Output Scale Factor fields on the General Configuration Options screen have been linked together, so you can now automatically set one as the inverse of the other with the press of a button.

Copy Output Scale Factor to Distance Labeling Scale Factors - A new Scale Factors dialog lets you easily configure all scale factors (Input Scale factor, Output Scale Factor, and five Distance Labeling Scale Factors) in one screen with no calculations required.

Automatic Blunder Detection - When your Input Scale Factor and Output Scale Factor values are not inverses of each other, or when the Output Scale Factor does not match your Distance Labeling Scale Factors, warning will appear to help you correct any potential issues.

Scale Factor Check on FieldGenius/RAW/RW5 File Import - When importing a RAW or RW5 file (including FieldGenius projects), the scale factors specified in the RAW file and in the General Configuration Options screen will be compared as a validation check, and if they do not match a Scale Factor dialog (see above) appears to help you correct any potential issues.

Scale Factor Setup on FieldGenius Export - When exporting a FieldGenius Project, a new option is available which will write the scale factor to the new project's raw file.

LISP Programming Extensions - Four new Lisp routines are available for your custom programming needs. New commands: (get_output_scale_factor), (set_output_scale_factor x), (get_input_scale_factor), (set_input_scale_factor x).
