Hi! Thanks for a fast and thoroughly answer. Yes, I'm a member (for many years), and feel free to copy it to the forum. Some comments below. Torstein
seems to be rather restrictive TopoRobot conventions and limitations. Now I think with each version it is becoming more flexible (Beat, the author will be the authority on this!) In fact when I use PocketTopo I break many of the 'rules' about station numbering and loops and have not had any serious data loss or corruption. To be honest I have trouble thinking in 'series' as it is not a concept that is used in New Zealand surveying. I have also problems with thinking in series ...
The key points to note are; 1. Ensure all files that contain surveys that are connected to each other are in the same folder. PocketTopo then displays the centrelines of all these surveys in the background of the current survey and sketch. Do not keep any copies or other files in that folder.
Yes.
2. Main reasons to start a new file are when a new days survey is started, a new survey is starting in a different location, or if the plan or elevation centrelines start overlapping (causing the sketching to become difficult). This way the centrelines of other surveys remain visible and only the sketches of the currently open file can be seen (reduces confusion).
Yes. I think the problem is the use of the word "series" in the sentence I referred to. I thought you by series meant the same as the series in PocketTopo, which is described in the bullet points above that sentence. Could it be an idea to rewrite the sentence?
