These commands process a sequence of commands. First, the Record
Script command creates a script file (.scr). When the Record Script
is active, the commands that you run and the input data is written
to the script file. The End Script command stops the script
recording. Then the Run Script command can be used to reprocess the
commands and input from the script file. The script file is a text
file that you can edit with any text editor such as Notepad or the
Display-Edit File command. You can edit input data files as well as
the commands.
The script supports the following commands: Draw-Locate Points,
Inverse, Traverse, Sideshot, Bearing-Bearing Intersection,
Bearing-Distance Intersection, Distance-Distance
Intersection.
These scripts can be useful for batch processing a repetitive
input. Also, the script can be used as a backup of data input for
reprocessing after editing input values.
In the script file, the user-input values are after the "=>".
Anything on a line that is after a ";" is a comment. The command
prompts are included in the script file for easier reading. Here is
a sample SCR file:
c:inverse ; Command: INVERSE
Traverse/SideShot/Options/Arc/Pick point or point number:
=>26
Traverse/SideShot/Options/Arc/Multiple/Pick point or point number:
=>24
