Selecting features in the map

• Tap the required feature(s) in the map. If there are several features close together, a list of features appears. Select the features as required and then tap OK to return to the map.

  When selecting a line, arc, or polyline to stakeout, tap near the end of the line, arc, or polyline that you want to designate as the start. Arrows are then drawn on the line, arc, or polyline to indicate the direction. If the direction is not correct, tap the line, arc or polyline to deselect it and then tap it at the correct end to reselect the direction required.

  Offset directions are not swapped when the line direction is reversed. The direction of alignments and Trimble roads (RXL files) is defined when they are created, and cannot be changed.

• Drag a box around the features you want to select.

  When multiple features are selected in this way they are typically sorted in the order in which they are stored in the database.

   

  • If the order of the entities in the selection is important, you should select them one by one.
  • Stakeout and review allow a maximum of 20 point cloud points to be selected at a time. Selecting points from point clouds using the drag and select method cannot be used for stakeout or review, as this method typically selects more than 20 points. To select point cloud points for stakeout or review, tap them individually in the map to select them.
• Tap next to a feature name field to select a feature from the list of selected map features. Only features that match the field type are shown.
• For any field where you need to select a point, you can tap the point in the map to select it. For some Cogo and Stakeout functions, when you select the features from the map and then select the function, the selected features are automatically entered into the appropriate fields.

• Tap the selected feature to deselect it. If there is more than one feature within the highlighted area, a list of features within this area appears. Deselect the features as required. Tap OK to return to the map.
• Tap and hold in the map and select List selection. A list of the selected features appears. Deselect the features as required.
• To clear the selection, double-tap an empty part of the map. Alternatively, tap and hold in the map and select Clear selection.

Once you have selected features in the map, tap Review to review details of the selected features or tap Stakeout to stake them out. You can also double-tap a feature in the map to stake it out.

If more than one point is selected, the points are added to the Stake out points list, from where you can select them for stakeout.

If more than one line or arc is selected, the first item selected is the one used for stakeout. If the selection contains different feature types (points, lines, arcs), only features of the first type selected can be staked out from the map. To stake out other feature types, clear the selection then reselect the other features.

Alternatively, tap and hold in the map and select the required function. See Map tap and hold options.

If there are no features selected, tap Measure to measure the current position.
