I'm surprised the fuzz didn't cuff you for wearing a road cone.
On a side note to this topic, what would one do if at proposal stage, the client specifies that the CAD file is to be included in the deliverables?
@holy-cow "one of those walking boot thingies" That'll be a "space boot". When I broke my expatriate ankle, in-country, the doc said I needed a spa...
Ok. Have you checked whether in the Leica-sonar direct cable configuration, they need to share (or not share) a common ground?
I personally wouldn't fiddle inside the sonar, my experience is that there's nothing inside that a Privateer can change. I would still however trying...
@djdan Our DC runs SurvCE, which has a tab for peripheral equipment:
@djdan Sounds good. Getting back to the Leica-sonar configuration, have you tried taking out the null modem - mysterious things can happen?
@djdan Maybe therein is the issue: 20Hz RTK to sonar "overloads" the sonar. Also, on our Lowrance HDS (which is a bit more modern than your unit), t...
Also, check which sentence the sonar accepts for GPS position. I think there are at least a couple of different "versions" of position - just like for...
We have a similar setup but the sounder (Lowrance HDS) sends Depth to the RTK data collector (DC) via Bluetooth. Somewhere there needs to be a "null-...
Here's a solution that meets today's disposable culture.
A number of times I've heard of companies e-shipping their drafting out to other countries, where the charge rates are a lot, lot lower.
@holy-cow "Fossick" must be a British term then. From memory they also use "rummage" for both sniffing around and for yard sales, but for the latter ...
Actually, to be honest, these days height for me is not the issue, it's bending over or squatting down to fossick around for items on those pesky lowe...
The way I've always done this is to set the UCS to the object, set the ortho on, then draw a line perpendicular to the start end and offset it the req...
@flga-2-2 This is what seriously freaks me out. Down this way there's been a lot of folk who've been proven to have caught it while on a plane.
Get a few of those ultrasonic water level recorders, a bit of telemetry, a remote recorder, some smoke and a few mirrors, and pull the curtains on tho...

"All that matters is that today, two stood against many ..." Conan the Barbarian. I find this handy to say at the start of a survey. And here's the ...
