Inverse Options

Use these options to calculate and report the azimuth, distance, and other relationships between any two points. They are available in the Inverse command pane.

Inverse

From/To

Pick the point in a graphic view, or type a point ID (name) in the field. Or, pick an unnamed scan point. If the Free option is checked in the Snap Mode dialog and you are making your selection on the Plan View tab, you can also pick a location where there is no point (not applicable on a 3D View tab or Station View tab). In this case, only 2D inverse values are calculated.

 

Sequential – Data is collected in a line, and you want to verify distances around the traverse.  

  • For example, you will need to click on:

    A to B, B to C, C to D, D to E, and E to A.

Radial – Data is collected in a ray, and you want to check distance from the base station. 

  • For example, you will need to click on:

    A to B, A to C, A to D, and A to E.

This shows the azimuths, changes in elevation and height, and three distances of the selected inverse:

  • Grid
  • Ellipsoidal
  • Ground

This acts as the [Enter] key, when specifying points, moving the focus between From, To, and Reported Points.
