Survey in SPC, PUBLISH in LOCAL ground scale
I live and work in Arkansas. In Arkansas, we are supposed to PUBLISH our plats in GROUND scale. I have been learning various things about SCALE factors. I would VERY much like to use the CARLSON to publish in GROUND scale. Now, I have told the State Surveyor that there really is “No such thing as ground scale”. There is APPROXIMATE ground scale. An average of the area. But, ground scale is an INDIVIDUAL point thing. No 2 points will often share the same Combined Scale Factor. Where I work, most of the time, my CSF is between 1.000075, and 1.00010, or 75 PPM, and 100 PPM.
This fits within MIN standards, most of the time. HOWEVER, I’d like to USE the CARLSON 2009 (Settings), then (DRAWING SETUP), and there, I can enter a CSF. For some reason, it does not ANNOTATE with the applied scale factor.
Is this do-able? Or, am I “Barking up the wrong tree?” Maybe moving up to CARLSON 2022 would help? (Then I’d have to learn Intellicadd, and I’m too clunky for that….)
What Have I been doing? well, simply building a localize into my JAVAD, and IGNORING the scale factor, after that. But, I have some jobs with SPC totally. These jobs, well, IF I can scale for annotation, would work better.
I could even scale the whole individual portion of the survey, and then annotate it. But, I don’t really like those solutions. What if I have a layer off, and miss something? anyway, any ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you kindly,
Nate
