To Specify Measurement Type Defaults

Use the Measurement Type Defaults to specify the default measurement types for the database when adding new survey data, including angle type, distance type, vertical type, and target type.

For example, the defaults are used for adding new observations in the Observations Editor.

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, expand the Survey Databases collection, right-click on the database name, and click Edit Survey Database Settings.
2. In the Survey Database Settings dialog box, expand the Measurement Type Defaults property group.
3. Click the drop-down list and select the value for the measurement type that you want to modify.

   For more information about the measurement type defaults, see Survey Database Settings dialog box.
