MAP
This chapter describes the use of the MAP screen. The MAP screen commands are available in the pull down menus or
at the command prompt. The MAP screen is useful for drawing, COGO, creating points for stakeout, and for the import
and export of DXF and shape files. No measurements are taken from the MAP screen.
Basics
The MAP screen is accessed by tapping the globe icon in the upper right of the main menu, or by selecting MAP from
the Helmet pulldown options. The basic operations of the MAP screen are described here.
Map View Icons
The commands associated with the MAP View Icons are described in the figure below:
Executing commands in MAP
The MAP screen defaults to a pull down menu format containing approximately 80 additional commands, virtually
doubling the number of commands found in the Menu Screens. Many of the commands in MAP offer CAD-like
features such as layer freeze and thaw, predetermined area, polyline offsets and even contouring. One of the most
important commands is Polyline to Points, which allows you to create points for stakeout (set out) from any selected
polyline. The MAP screen also includes a command line format that can be set using Preferences. Several MAP screen
pull down menu commands involve “fly out” options, as shown below.
