Observations Editor Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to view and edit survey observations.

Point Number

Specifies the point number.

When creating a new point and automatic point numbering is off, you must specify the point number. If automatic point numbering is on, then the points are automatically numbered.

Name

Specifies an optional name for the point.

Angle

Specifies the measured horizontal angle. It is assumed to be clockwise (right). Use a negative number (-) to turn counter-clockwise (left). Expressed in the current units.

Angle Type
Specifies the angle type to locate the point. Either angle, deflection angle, face 1, face 2, or bearing.
Distance

Specifies the distance from the instrument point to the point being located. It is measured in the current units.

Distance Type

Specifies the distance type to locate the point. Specify slope, horizontal, or None.

Vertical

Specifies the vertical angle or distance depending on the Vertical Type.

Vertical Type

Specifies the method of measuring the vertical. Either Vertical Angle or Vertical Distance.

Target Height

Specifies the vertical distance between the ground elevation and the focal point of the prism or stadia.

Target Type

Specifies the target type. Either prism, stadia, or None.

Scale Factor

Specifies the scale factor that affects how ground measurements are translated into grid measurements. The horizontal distances are then multiplied by this factor when the Scale Factor correction is checked in the Measurement Corrections property in the Survey Database Settings dialog.

Northing

Displays the calculated northing for the point.

Easting

Displays the calculated easting for the point.

Elevation

Displays the calculated elevation for the point.
