Instrument Shots
It is often useful to draw instrument shots—that is, the line of sight from instruments to their corresponding measurements, as depicted below. Instrument shots (also referred to as shot lines) help you visualize which instruments have measurements to which points, and also helps with visualizing the angles and distances to your shots, as well as the entire instrument network as a whole.
Shot Graphics Options
Instrument Shot Modes There are four modes for viewing instrument shots:
-
Draw only last shot of active instruments. Draws only the most recent shot from any active instruments.
-
Draw all shots.Draws every shot line from every instrument to every point.
-
Draw only active (enabled) shots. Any disabled shots will not have shot lines drawn. All others will.
-
Draw only inactive (disabled) shots. Any disabled shots will not have shot lines drawn. All others will.
Shot Colors In addition to changing the instrument shot mode, you can also set the color used for active shots, inactive shots, or the latest (Current) update.
Angle Only Shots Instruments that do not measure distance (such as theodolites) cannot measure a point with each shot, therefore the shot line length cannot be drawn. A Default Length setting controls the length of this shot line and defaults to 200 units.
Obscured Shots An option to automatically refresh the obscured shot list with each instrument position update is available here. For more information refer to the section on Job Pre-Planning. urn:resource:component:4298869
