Side Shot Settings

Side Shot Settings are part of the Traverse Settings TPC uses to draw a survey for you. 

Side Shot Settings draw all the side shots and offsets. Control points are drawn with the Control Point Settings.

Why Draw Side Shots?

You typically don't use Side Shot Settings in a final drawing nearly as much as you use Control Point Settings. This doesn't mean that side shots are not handy in a drawing. They can save you lots of drafting time when used properly for things like sewer laterals, overhead power lines and interior lot lines.

Changing Side Shot Settings From a Drawing

• Right click any object drawn by a traverse and choose Traverse Settings then left click the Side Shots tab.
  
• Choose the point symbol, line type and annotations you want. To turn off lines or point symbols, choose None from the pick list.
  
• Choose OK. TPC redraws the traverse with the new settings.

Changing Side Shot Settings From the Traverses Manager

• Right click the traverse you want to change and choose Traverse Settings then left click the Side Shots tab.
  
• Choose the point symbol, line type and annotations you want. To turn off lines or point symbols, choose None from the pick list.
  
• Choose OK. TPC redraws the traverse with the new settings.

Changing Side Shot Settings for Multiple Traverses in the Traverses Manager

You can select multiple traverses in the Traverses Manager then change the Traverse Settings for just one of the selected traverses and TPC will apply the settings to all of the selected traverses. This can include Side Shot Settings.

Adding Your Own Symbols

Any symbol in TPC's Object Library can be used as a point symbol, even blocks you create yourself. Find out more about adding your own symbols.
