We’ll keep our survey in local coordinates but work easily with geodetic positions for Google Earth and our GNSS equipment. You’ll also learn how to export linework to GNSS via Shape and DXF files.
We cast a wide net as we learn the components in TPC’s Coordinate Reference System (CRS) and how they interact in a survey. Traverse PC is just as comfortable working with geodetics as it is with planar computations.
Calibrations use Least Squares to fit any coordinate system to another coordinate system. User can then forward/reverse calibrate between the two plus use any existing calibration as the Site Calibration for a survey.
Traverse PC’s drawing templates are dynamic, able to provide any desired page size and orientation because of TPC’s unique Paper Space vs Survey Space. Learn how to create a drawing template from any existing drawing, then edit the template to provide just what you want moving forward.
We take an in-depth look at the new Details tool in TPC Desktop 2021. It makes it easy and intuitive to create details in your drawings. You can set them to any size and scale as needed and it is easy to edit the resulting group using the new group editing tools.
We show you some of the tools that are available to you in the Drawing Data Manager (DDM) for finding, accessing and modifying all of the objects in your drawing, even if they are hidden or off the screen!
We take a look at TPC Desktop’s tools for doing offsets and setbacks. We use some tools in unexpected ways; these are some of the screwdrivers in the TPC Desktop toolbox.
Using Point Codes in TPC Desktop can really be a time-saver in creating your drawings. See how easy it is to build a code list one job at a time to automate most of your drawing process.
