The Closure View reports the closure information for it's traverse.
The Closure View has two purposes 1) reporting a traverse's closure and 2) adjusting a traverse's coordinates.
Closure View Information (2:52) - Take a quick look at the information reported in the Closure View
Reporting a Traverse's Closure
First, it summarizes the current traverse, or a portion of the current traverse and shows. See Checking Traverse Closure.
In terms of TPC's many reports, you can think of this as a Closure Report.
•What kind of closure is currently being used
•What adjustment rule is selected
•What errors exist in the traverse
•A summary of the length and area, if appropriate
•A summary of the closing points
Adjusting a Traverse's Coordinates
Second, it provides the tools for balancing the entire traverse or a portion of the traverse and will. See Adjusting a Traverse.
•Balance coordinates
•Balance angles
•Correct for curvature and refraction
•Apply a scale factor
•Undo the last adjustment
•Choose a different adjustment rule
•Select different portions of a traverse to balance
By now, you have probably noticed that of your data -- all the time. The Closure View is no exception. You see how the errors are computed, and you decide what gets balanced and how.
The Closure View displays data based on the Distance and Direction types selected for that traverse. The types are listed immediately under the Closure View heading at the top.
Distance Units
The distance units displayed in the Closure View are determined by the traverse units. You set these in the Advanced tab of the Traverse View Format dialog.
