Just got a Nomad 1050 with Survey Pro to replace our ancient Texas Instruments "survey computer". My question comes when using the Nomad/survey pro to solve a road and generate a point list. I entered the alignment of the roadway and want the Nomad/survey pro to generate a point list on say 50 feet station intervals. I discovered that it will do this in the stakeout function using stakeout offset points and making the offset zero, this generates points along the centerline of the roadway on 50 station intervals, which is what I want. The problem is, the description of the each point just says "offset" and doesn't mention the station number anywhere. No big deal if I have 10 points, but when a project gets longer, it could be 300 points or so, and it would be tedious trying to go through and change each point description to a station number. The old TI that I was using did this automatically when the points were generated. So, is there a way to change a setting or something that would allow the description to be a station, or is there another way to accomplish what I want through another function.
Any help would be appreciated!
I thought there was an option in the Cogo menu to create points at intervals. What version of survey pro. I thought it put the station and offset in the note in 5.0 and up
Using 6.0. The only option in Cogo to do this is "Offset Points", that I can see. When you use this option, it does create the points at whatever station intervals you enter, but the description only shows the word "Offset" and there is nothing listed in the Notes.
I am using 6.1.1 and when I store through the cogo or offset staking menu it auto fill the station as the description I don??t see where this is an option though
