The Carlson Field Icon Menu lets you select Carlson Field functions by pressing a function key F1-F10 or by picking the icon button. The set of commands that are available in this menu depends of the type of survey equipment that you are configured to. Before running these Carlson Field functions, you need to run Configure Field to set the equipment type and communication parameters.
There are two ways to bring up the icon menu. One way is by picking
the Start Carlson Field icon.
This start icon is displayed in the lower right of your screen when the
Show Startup Icon option is on as set in Configure Field under
General Settings. You can close the Start Carlson Field icon for the
current
drawing session by clicking the X in the icon title bar. To bring back
the
Start Carlson Field icon you can use the F11 key. The Start Carlson
Field icon is
only displayed when no commands are running. The other way to show
the Carlson Field function menu is to pick the Menu(F11) button while
running other Carlson Field commands. This method allows you to switch
between Carlson Field functions without having to exit back to the CAD
menu.
For example, you can switch from Point Store directly to Stakeout.
