To add a pipeline to the project

    2. In the Create Pipeline pop-up window, click Browse and browse to the location of the tally CSV file or drag it from File Explorer and drop it onto the Pipeline name field.

      One tally file is usually used as the master tally file for the entire pipeline project and shared amongst multiple survey crews. The name of the tally file is used as the Pipeline name.

      To prevent data conflicts, make sure that each pipeline has a unique name as Trimble Access uses a shared folder for all pipeline data.

    4. Click Create.

      Appropriate coordinate systems for the map location are listed below the map.

    4. To ignore the map filter, disable the Map filtering switch.
    5. Select a coordinate system from the library list or use the Zone, Datum and Geoid fields to select the coordinate system settings.

    For more information on choosing a coordinate system for the job, including keying in parameters, see Coordinate system settings.
