New Features

Inconsistent Description Summary

• Often, combining multiple field files in an adjustment will cause problems. A useful clue to solving these problems is the point descriptions. A point ID with different descriptions indicates a problem, and now something we show you in the Inconsistent Description Summary of the listing with a link to navigate to each appearance quickly.

Inconsistent Description Warning and Error messages

• If you prefer an obvious warning message to fix the issues contained in your input files, this feature is for you. In the cases where a point ID has multiple input lines to it with different descriptions, a warning or error message will be displayed at each appearance of that point ID. A warning message will allow the adjustment to complete, while an error message will need to be resolved before continuing or turn the feature off. 

Appending Inconsistent Descriptions

• In the case of STAR*NET Ultimate where adjustments can be scripted to run through the command line, and for everyone else, appending the description will ensure that each unique description a point ID has is carried forward in the output files from STAR*NET.

Increased Maximum Description Length

• Because of the ability to append inconsistent descriptions, the descriptions output from STAR*NET can now be up to 128 characters in length. This ensures confidence and reliability in the information we provide.

Network Plot Font Selection

• Do you have a preferred font? I have my favourites. The font on the network plot can now be customized in the plot options dialog.

Leica DBX Sets of Angles Improvements

• There were a few problems that could be introduced when individually disabling sets of angles in Leica Captivate, then importing the DBX into STAR*NET. We have resolved those and improved upon the formatting of the sets of angles input data.
