Computes coordinates for the highlighted point using any existing survey points. Coordinates are computed by going the New Bearing and New Distance from the From point.
The selected point from the Traverse View becomes the Computed Point in the Compute Coordinates dialog box. You can re-compute its coordinates based on any other points in the survey, then save those coordinates in the Traverse View.
The new coordinates are computed from this known point. Use the [>] pick button to select the point from the current drawing.
Specify the direction to go from the known point. Use the [>] pick button to select the bearing from the current drawing.
The input values are used to compute the point. If you enter a Slope Distance, the dialog uses the Grade and Slope distance to compute the new elevation. If you enter the Desired Elevation and Grade, the dialog will compute the Slope Distance. The Grade is never computed by the dialog.
You can use equations for distance and direction (i.e. to go half the distance from point 7 to point 14, enter 7..14/2.
These are the computed values.
Choose Edit to enter a description and point symbol for the computed point.
Adds the point to the ‘Point Plot’ traverse and the current drawing.
This updates the selected point with the computations you have selected.
Returns you to the Traverse View without making any changes.
