Enter as much information as you think you need to identify this survey job from other survey jobs. None of the information is required (other than Filename). It is available for your reference, it appears in reports you create and it can be used to help automate the drawing process by using variables in your drawing templates.
This is the complete path and filename for the TRV file (e.g. - C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Surveys\MySurvey.TRV). You can edit any part of it. You can change the path by typing over it or you can Browse to a different location. You can delete the filename shown and replace it with your own (change untitled to 01-138 for example). Or, you can highlight the entire path and filename and delete them and type in just the filename (delete C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Surveys\Untitled.TRV and type 01-138 in its place). If you delete the entire line and type in only the filename, TPC will insert the default data path and the .trv extension for you when you go to another field. Just verify that the filename box shows the correct path and filename before you click on OK.
This is the date the survey was created. This is not an editable field. It is displayed here for your information.
You can use the Browse button to find a different path or filename.

The Job ID you enter here is added automatically to the Drawing View title block. This is an optional field.
