Zoom

Function: control the size of the job, or more correctly, how much of your current job is displayed on the screen at any given time. Two methods of zoom functions i.e. i) using icon given as below and ii) press the Z key on the keyboard. For Zoom Extent, user be able to press E key to show all the images displayed. To enlarge the image, zoom in with the + icons while to reduce the size, click - icons.

Modes Display

Modes function represents a screen display controlling how the job will appear. Display is controlled by Modes and Layers. MODES Modes appeared after pressing the icons or F9 on the keyboard.

Modes function also can be defined by pressing the key on the keyboard as given below:

F1 : Help F2 : Point Numbers F3 : Strings F4 : String Names F5 : Heights F6 : Codes F7: Contours F8: Triangle Model F9: Modes Screen F10:Layers Screen
Modes can only displayed one attribute data at a time, the layers are needed for showing all attribute selected.

Degrees Grads Mills

Entered as DDD.MMSS where D is the degrees, M is the minutes and S is the seconds. So, 125degrees 15minutes 35seconds would be entered as 125.1535 Here the circle is divided into 400 units instead of 360 with degrees entered as GGG.ggg Used mainly by the military - a circle is divided into 6400 units. A system where the base reference is a quarter of a circle, rather than the whole circle. Entered as QDD.MMSS: where Q is the Quadrant - 1 is North East (NE), 2 is South East (SE), 3 is South West (SW), 4 is North West (NW). Note that the degrees field must be between zero and 90, and any values less than 10 must have a leading zero. So, North 5 degrees 25 minutes 35 seconds East would be entered as N5.2535E and South 55 degrees 38 minutes 44 seconds West would be entered as S55.3844E.

Metres Feet (decimal feet)

Standard decimal metres entered as MMM.mmm Feet and hundredths of a foot Entered as FFF.ff where 1 foot = 0.3048 metres exactly Entered as FFF'IIN/D where F is the feet, I is the inches , and N& D are the fractions of an inch where N is the Numerator and D is the Denominator, or for those who didn't study math, N is the bit on the top and D is the bit on the bottom. So, twenty seven feet six and five eighth inches would be entered as 27'065/8 an original 'decimal' system, though now outdated where there were 100 links to a chain. Entered as LLL.ll, and one link is 0.201168 metres Provides a perfect example of why politicians should not be taken too seriously, particularly in matters technical. Ignoring the fact that feet were a British invention and had since the 13th Century been established as the quirky Anglo competitor to the decimal Metre of the French where 3.2808399 feet made up one metre, the US Congress in 1836 decided that they needed a thing to be known as a US Survey Foot which would need 3.2808333 feet to make a metre.
