Set out calculations

On the Survey tab, in the Calculations group, click Set Out to calculate bearings and distances from one or more instrument stations to a set of coordinated points. The source data is read from a file and the results are written to fields in the same file.

The source data must be in a file containing records with coordinates in Easting and Northing variables, instrument station(s) in a separate field and two other variables to hold the calculated bearings and distances. 

You also need a Station file containing the coordinates of the stations.

To perform set out calculations on a file:

1. On the Survey tab, in the Calculations group, click Set Out.
2. Specify the Setout file type and name.
3. Enter the names of the data fields in the remaining text boxes on the left side of the form.
4. Enter the Station file name and the names of its fields.
5. Choose the Angle units.
6. Run the function to write the calculated fields to the file.
