Adding Points to Traverses

Starting with V9.5, TPC consolidated the way you add points to traverses with new tools from the Points Manager, Traverse View and Drawing View.

Recalling Single Points

Open the Traverse View for the traverse you wan to recall the point into. You may create a new traverse or use an existing traverse.
Position the cursor where you want to recall point. The points will be inserted above the cursor.
Choose Edit | Insert New Point | Above Selected Item or Below Selected Item or Append to End and use one of the options in this dialog to recall the points you want.

Recalling Multiple Points

Open the Traverse View for the traverse you wan to recall the points into. You may create a new traverse or use an existing traverse.
Position the cursor where you want to recall points. The points will be inserted above the cursor.
Choose Edit | Insert Existing Points... and use one of the options in this dialog to recall the points you want.

Prior to V9.5, TPC used a Scrap traverse. TPC doesn't use the Scrap traverse anymore. Instead, you can insert any traverse into any other traverse with Insert Existing Points....

From the Points Manager or Traverse View

Select points in either the Points Manager or Traverse View.
Choose Tools | Add Selected Points to Traverse.
In the Add Points to Traverse dialog select an existing traverse to add points to.

The selected points will be appended to that traverse.

From the Drawing View

Open the drawing that has the objects you will use to create the traverse. This can be a point plot from your data collector, a CAD drawing or the current drawing you are working on.
Choose Tools | Add Selected Points to Traverse.
In the Add Selected Points to Traverse dialog, select an existing traverse to add points to.
Follow the drawing command prompts on the status bar to select data into the traverse.
When you are finished selecting data into the traverse, press Enter.

The points you created or selected from the Drawing View will be appended to the existing traverse.
