Track Position

This command shows your current position in either the drawing view or a 3D view. For the drawing view, the coordinates of your current position are shown in a dialog and an arrow icon is shown in the drawing view. For the 3D view, use the Run button to get position updates and use the Stop button to stop updates and use the viewer controls to change to view. When the tablet computer has tilt and compass sensors, the 3D view uses these sensors to control the view direction.

This command only applies to GPS and robotic total stations. As you move along, the arrow icon will move through your drawing showing your position in real-time. If the arrow icon gets near the edge of the screen, Carlson Field will automatically pan over.

A dialog box also appears in Track mode. The dialog shows your current northing, easting and elevation. For GPS mode, the dialog displays the HRMS and VRMS values and solution status. There are buttons to take you to Monitor and Skyplot. There is also a Store button which will store your current location as a point and plot it, similar to the Point Store function.
