For example, if you want to enter a bearing of 48 degrees, 39 minutes and 10 seconds, then you would select the button and enter '48.6516'. Values can be automatically converted by toggling the appropriate button.

n.a.

Inclination

Refers to the amount of deviation from the last digitised point. The inclination value needs to be entered in decimal degrees. A positive value results in the point being projected above the horizon, and a negative results in the point being projected below.

n.a.

Distance

The units of measurement for the distance are specified in the job specification (.dg1) file.

You can choose to digitise a point using distance and angle or distance only or angle only. The last digitised point is used as the point from which to create the new point.

Tip:   Use the C key to centre the view on the last digitised point.

The bearing is measured in degrees from North in a clockwise direction. The dip is measured in degrees from horizontal, angles should be between 0° and 90°.

To digitise a point using a distance and an angle.

  1. Digitise the first point.
  2. Select the Construct Line At Given Angle button .
  3. Select your type of input, that is Distance and Angle, Distance or Angle.
