Quick View™ is a key concept of Traverse PC you will need to learn right away to use TPC.
•It draws the survey for you using Control/Base Point, Side Shot/RTK, Lot Label, Lot Setback, Surface, Profile settings and more.
•Each drawing has its own settings and each traverse, surface and profile has its own settings that can be used to mix and match the way the survey is drawn.
•You'll like the things Quick View™ does for you, freeing you from tedious drawing and making life a little bit easier.
•Drawing settings (text height, bearings vs azimuths, background clearing, etc.)
2. Quick View™ produces a working drawing
•Add a drawing template (north arrow, scale bar, certificates, logo, etc)
•Scale, position and rotate the survey to fit the page you want
•Move objects where you want them and add text like drawing title narratives.
3. Your drawing is finished
The result of using Quick View™ technology is that you DON'T HAVE TO MANUALLY DRAW EVERYTHING. Letting Quick View™ do the work for you allows you to draw your surveys with very little manual drafting and maintains the drawing integrity as you modify the survey data. Remember, It's Not CAD.
It's NOT CAD
Although the Drawing View includes the basic CAD tools of adding and editing entities, it is a very different environment than CAD.
The biggest difference is that in Drawing View you select the options you want and TPC's Quick View™ Technology draws the survey for you. No more tedious connecting the dots or adding text one line at a time.
To include a traverse in a drawing, you tag it in the Traverses Manager. Each traverse can also create a temporary drawing, showing just the data in that traverse. From the Traverse View, you can toggle between the current drawing the the temporary drawing for the traverse. See Drawing Traverses. See Temporary Drawing.
Traverses and Surfaces create special drawing objects that are associated with survey data. These are called Survey Objects and are created automatically using Quick View™ Technology.
Most of your drawing will be Survey Objects. As you learn to use TPC, you will find yourself doing less and and less manual drafting. Instead, you'll let the traverses do the drafting work for you. See Working with Drawing Objects.
Drawing Objects Manually
When you need to, you can add additional drawing objects like text, lines, title block, scale bar, etc to any drawing. These remain with the drawing and can be placed on the drawing in paper space so that they don't change even if the survey does. See Drawing Objects Manually.
