Similarly, whenever a new job is created, a Points layer is
automatically created and selected as the active layer. The active
layer is the default layer where any new objects will be stored.
Managing Layers
You can configure Survey Pro to prompt for a layer whenever an
object is stored. If this prompt is turned off, any new objects that are
stored will simply be stored to the active layer. There are three cards
within the
-RE 6HWWLQJV screen to configure this prompt.
There is a ; Prompt for Layer checkbox in the Survey card, the
Stakeout card and the General card. The first affects if you are
prompted for a layer only when new data is stored from the routines
within the Survey menu. Likewise, the second affects
only data stored from the routines in the Stakeout menu.
The prompt in the General card affects if you are
prompted for a layer when data is stored from any other
routines, such as the COGO routines.
Most layer management is performed from the
-RE , 0DQDJH /D\HUV screen. This screen allows you to
add, delete, rename and change the visibility of the
various layers. You can also set the active layer from
here. This screen is also available from several different
locations, such as the new Map Display Options screen
and any of the controls that allow you to select layers.
The ,
/D\HUV Quick Pick can also be used to access the
Manage Layers screen.
Changing the Active Layer
To change the active layer, tap the desired layer and then tap the
6HW $FWLYH button. There must always be an active layer and there
can only be one active layer at a time. The active layer is marked
with the symbol.
Creating a New Layer
A new layer can be created by tapping 1HZ« , which opens the New
Layer dialog box where a name and if the new layer should be visible
is entered.
