Survey User Settings Dialog Box

Specifies whether to use an external editor for displaying analysis input and output and editing field book and batch file. Click the check box to use an external editor.

Specifies the path and name of the external editor. Enter a name and path or click to browse to a location.

Specifies if the network, setup, and figures previews are exaggerated vertically. Enter a value, which is the factor applied to the elevations of the objects displayed in the previews.

Specifies the path for the location of the survey database settings files. The .*sdb_set files located in this path can be selected in the Survey Database Settings.

Specifies the survey .*sdb_set file. This file contains the default database settings that are used when you create a new survey database.

Specifies the path for the location of the survey extended properties definition files. The .*sdx_set files located in this path can be selected in the Extended Properties Definition.

Specifies the .*sdx_set file. This pre-defined schema contains both LandXML and user defined properties that can be specified as the default when you create a new survey database.

Specifies the path for the equipment databases. This is the path where all new equipment databases are stored. Enter a path or click to browse to a location.

Specifies the current equipment database. Click the equipment database from the drop-down list.

Specifies the current equipment to use. Click the equipment name from the drop-down list.

The current equipment sets the values associated with a specific surveying instrument, such as the standard deviations associated with the measuring capabilities for the equipment. This information is used in various calculations including least squares.

Specifies the path for the Linework Code Sets. This is the path where all linework code sets are stored. Enter a path, or click to browse to a location.

Specify Yes to process linework during an import command.

Specifies the default linework code set to use when linework processing occurs.

Specifies the order in which survey point descriptions are processed to determine linework connectivity. Select one of the following:

• By Import Order - processes points in the order in which they are imported. Point names are always processed by import order.
• By Point Number - processes points sequentially by point number (ascending order only).

Specifies the path for the figure prefix database. This is the path where all new equipment databases are stored. Enter a path or click to browse to a location.

Specifies the current figure prefix database. Click the figure prefix database from the drop-down list.

Figure prefixes enable you to determine the layer that a figure is drawn on by creating a prefix for a group of figure names. All figures with a specific prefix are placed on a specific layer.

Specifies the default style for figures inserted into the drawing.

Specifies the default layer for figures inserted into the drawing.

Specifies if the drawing automatically pans and zooms to the survey observations when they are imported or entered.

Specifies whether a line, which represents the line backsighted by the survey instrument setup, is displayed.

Specifies whether a symbol, which represents the prism at the backsight point, is displayed.

Specifies whether a symbol, which represents the instrument (transit) at the station (or occupied) point, is displayed.

Specifies whether a line, which represents the line foresighted by the survey instrument setup, is displayed.

Specifies whether a symbol, which represents the prism at the foresight point, is displayed.

Specifies whether a line, which represents the line established as a baseline, is displayed.

Specifies whether a symbol, which represents the prism at any new point created from a baseline, is displayed.

Specifies whether a line, which represents the baseline offset to any new point created, is displayed.

Specifies whether a line, which represents the current figure, is displayed.

Specifies whether the figure vertex is displayed.

Specifies whether to display interactive graphics during the import of survey data. Use Interactive Graphics settings to control the display of individual graphics components.

Specifies whether to erase all the points referenced by the selected network from the drawing.

Specifies whether to remove all the observations in the survey database for the selected network. When this property is unchecked, incoming observations are appended to the observation database for the selected network.

Specifies whether to erase figures, which have a reference to the selected network, from the drawing and database.

Specifies whether to create a network object in the drawing.

Specifies whether to create figure objects in the drawing.

Specifies that Survey points are inserted into the drawing.

Specifies the default site for figures that are set to create Lot Lines. When inserting a figure into the current drawing:

• If this site does not exist in the current drawing, it is created.
• This site is used if the Lot Line property for the figure is set to True, and the Site property for the figure is blank.

Select Yes to display tolerance errors in the Event Viewer when you import data using the Import Field Book, Import LandXML, or Import Batch File commands. For more information, see Reporting Tolerance Errors

Select Yes to export the figures in the database when you use the Export Field Book command.

The figure type determines what is added to the field book. For information on the conditions and syntax that is added to the field book, see About Export Defaults.

Specifies if point IDs are used to define figures when figures are exported to a field book.

For information on the conditions and syntax that is added to the field book, see About Export Defaults.

This check box is active when the Export Point Identifiers property is not set to None. Select Yes if you want each figure vertex that references a point identifier to output the following to the field book file prior to the section defining the figures: NE SS <point ID> <north> <east> <elevation> <description>

Specifies whether to preview the network lines for the selected network item.

Specifies whether to preview the sideshot lines for the selected network item.

Specifies whether to preview the points for the selected network item.

Specifies whether to preview the figures that reference the selected network item.

Specifies whether to preview the sideshot lines for the selected setup item.

Specifies whether to preview the points for the selected setup item.

Specifies whether to preview the figures affected by the selected setup item.

Specifies whether to preview the line segments for the selected figure item.

Specifies whether to preview the display of the points referenced by the selected figure item.

Specifies the path for the change report style sheet.

Specifies the report style sheet (.xsl file) used with an .xml file to create the report.
