good question,,,,,,rules is the only answer I can come up with.
Sometimes it's very amusing. A tie a foot apart to the nearest second.
@bill93 Thank you Bill.?ÿ That is the type of answer I was looking for.?ÿ I may not have made myself clear in my original post.?ÿ I was trying to tap "some memories".?ÿ I had a tech ask me that question and I answered him best I could, but thought I would inquire the wisemen.
Only slightly off topic: I remember stopping a walk 20+ years ago to watch a local surveyor and a helper measure on a residential lot. Their GTS-3 displayed to 0.005 ft, but they were recording the numbers in the field book rounded to 0.02 because the state standard for plats said 0.02 ft. Probably rounding angles, too.
They were using setups that could see multiple corners but not setting the instrument on corners for a traverse, so the measurements weren't the final answers..
Rounding the final answer makes sense but why would you throw unnecessary rounding error into your raw data, before calculating the lot lengths and/or checking closure? No understanding of error statistics?
