Convert As-Staked Points to Survey Points

As-staked points can be converted to survey points in either of the following ways:

  • Automatically on import
  • Manually after import

When an as-staked point is converted to a survey point, whether manually or automatically, the following occurs:

  • A new survey point is created using the same name as the converted as-staked point. The observation associated with the as-staked point is moved to the survey point to determine its coordinate. If there are features assigned to the as-staked point, they are assigned to the new survey point as well.
  • The as-staked point is renamed with an appended number (for example, point 100 would be renamed 100-1). Its coordinate and other data, including feature data, remains intact; however, it no longer includes an observation.

Prerequisites:

Converting an as-staked point automatically on import:

If a surveyor has set up the instrument on an as-staked point, when the data is imported into Trimble Business Center the as-staked point is automatically converted to a survey point as described above.

To convert an as-staked point manually:

In the Project Explorer, select the as-staked point you want to convert, right-click, and select Convert As-Staked Point. The as-staked point is automatically converted to a survey point as described above.

Note: If you are viewing the properties for an as-staked point, you can easily convert it to a survey point by clicking the Convert As-Staked Point button i_Convert as-staked point located at the top of the Properties pane.
