CAD toolbar

The CAD toolbar enables you to easily use control codes to create line, arc, and polygon features in the map as you measure points, or by drawing line and arc features using feature coded points already in the job.

To display the toolbar, you can:

  • Tap and hold in the map and then select CAD toolbar.
  • In the map, tap Options and then select the CAD toolbar check box.

If lines created using the CAD toolbar are not visible in the map, tap and select Filter. Tap All or tap the CAD linework list item so that a check mark appears next to it.

 

  • The tools available on the CAD toolbar depend on whether the CAD toolbar is in Measure mode or Drawing mode. To switch between modes, tap and then select the required mode.
  • All control codes are available for selection from the CAD toolbar even if the control code is not defined in the selected feature library. When you tap a button the software warns if the control code is not defined in the feature library. The software also warns if the selected feature code is not defined as a line feature.
  • The CAD toolbar is only available when you are using General Survey.

You must be in a survey and have a Measure form open to use Measure mode. Measure forms are Measure points, Measure topo, or Measure codes. When you open a Measure form, the CAD toolbar automatically switches to Measure mode.

When connected to an instrument that supports video, you can use the CAD toolbar when you tap in the map toolbar to switch to the video feed from the map. You must have enabled the CAD toolbar in the map, started a survey, and opened the Measure topo or Measure codes form.

If a Measure form is not open, the CAD toolbar opens in Drawing mode. Drawing mode can only be used in the map, it cannot be used with video.
