Carlson and Crd file Links
Using a laptop, to do recomputing of coords in the field, can get crazy.
I goofed up a job…
I made temporary coords, on a bunch of points on a survey, and went to the field, with worksheet.
Made worksheet.
Went to field.
Used one of these temp coords, to SEARCH, and FOUND a nice DRILL STEEL, some 2′ away.
Took laptop, with DWG file.
REVISED the other search coords, into FINAL coords. in the field. I USED the MOVE command, under the points pull down.
BUT I failed to ASSOCIATE the coord file, before I did it.Went, and STAKED them.
Got home,
Found out I staked the TEMP coords , not the revised ones, because I failed to ASSOCIATE the CRD file, to the dwg, in the laptop.Just a word to the wise…
Learn to use the CRD File Links. It’s Under POINTS Pull down, and COORD FILE UTILITIES.1-1/2 hr drive back to job….
Tends to “Drive the point home”.
One of these temp coords, is in the middle of a paved road. I stacked 3 rebar on top of each other, (You know, kinda preserve the point!)
Now, I have to reset it. And, REFERENCE my wrong rebar, because I am not digging a hole 3.5′ deep!Hey, I am my own worst enemy, sometimes!
I am glad I have the tools to fix my mess.
