color:black'>PocketTopo stores the declination (and trip information like the
date and the surveyors etc) that is set at the time a shot is received with
that shot, and this association cannot be broken. If you subsequently change
the declination (or other information), it only has effect for future shots.
The declination is added to the compass bearing for the purpose of producing
the sketch. So, if you enter an erroneous declination and take some shots, the
drawing will be permanently skewed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:black'>This effect can be used to advantage if you want to make sure the
text in your 2D pdf maps will be aligned properly when the finished map is to
be rotated. Enter a declination into PocketTopo that equals <declination>
+ <rotation>. The effect of this is to ensure that the xvi sketches
produced will be oriented the same as the finished map, and so text -align
variables will match the orientations of the finished map. The downside of this
approach is that the coordinates of the stations stored in PocketTopo will be
completely arbitrary. (So far I have not taken any notice of the coordinates in
PocketTopo - if you accept this I don't think there are any other ramifications
- but I might be wrong)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
