Use batch files to record all survey commands that you use.
You can use the commands on the Batch File menu and the Output menu in the Survey Command Window to provide a historical record of a surveyor's decisions. A best practice is to create a new survey network to use in the Survey Command Window where you can perform calculations involving points from other existing survey networks. By using a new network, the data that is being input is captured in the batch file, where it can be edited and run with the corrections, and it will not affect the integrity of the other survey networks.
These commands are from data that is downloaded from a field book or entered from either the menus or at the Survey Command Window. You can open this file in your text editor to review and edit it.
After you make changes in the batch file, you can use the Run command to insert the data and draw the points in your drawing. The Run - Walk Through command downloads the data from the batch file and prompts you to press a key after each command in the batch file.
To use batch files, select the Use Batch File setting in the Survey Database Settings.
