Reduce Map Check File

If a map check file is not open, a file dialogue box will appear, allowing you to open an existing map check file. If you wish the coordinates to be adjusted, select the type of adjustment in the Traverse Options dialog box. If a coordinate file is not open, a file dialog box will appear allowing you to open one.NOTE  You may use the same coordinate file as often as you wish.  Make sure the correct coordinate file is open.

Prompts

Next Enter Point values: the starting Point number, Northing and Easting and the ending Northing and Easting:                                  The map data will then be reduced and the coordinates stored in the coordinate file. Overwrite protection is in place in case the points already exist in the coordinate file. If a point already exists in the coordinate file you will have the following options:                                  CANCEL: will terminate the process of storing coordinates.
OVERWRITE :will overwrite the existing point.
DO NO OVERWRITE: skip to the next point. If you have the “Do Not Ask Again” box checked.
Overwrite will overwrite all points without asking, and Do Not Overwrite will only write NEW points to the coordinate file.

The initial closure information will be shown. For example:

Correct Ending Coordinates, North: 5000.0000 East: 5000.0000
Ending Coordinates, North: 5071.8346 East: 4894.7441
Error, N: 71.83 E: -105.26 Total: 127.43 Brg: S 55ø41'15"E
Distance Traversed: 1308.19 Closure: 10
