Job Parameters

The job parameters are values which pertain to the whole job and not to any particular data item.
Each line will contain one data object (e.g. one point).
The data parameters for the object are separated by commas and are in the format:
    NAME = VALUE

[JOB PARAMETERS]
Username="Mike",CompanyName="Mimaka Pty Limited",ScaleFactor=500.000000
DesignFilename="GT.02",DesignFileOpen
NextGeomPoint=75,NextTopoPoint=62,DefInsertLayer="Geom Points"
Job_Datum="None",Job_Zone="None",Job_Units="Metric",
CompanyName
The name of the Company doing the job, as entered in the Job Properties.
Default = None

DesignFilename
The path and name of the design files used to record Geom point creation values.
Default = None

 DefInsertLayer
This is the default Insert layer onto which new data items will be placed.
Default = "Geom Points"

DesignFileOpen
This is a Y/N value to indicate that the design file should be automatically opened when the job is opened.
Default = N

 Job_Datum
The name of the job datum, as entered in the Job Properties.
Default = None

Job_Zone
The name of the job zone, as entered in the Job Properties.
Default = None

Job_Units

NextGeomPoint
The point number to be used when creating the next Geom point (these usually have no height).
This allows you to keep Topo or field data in separate number ranges in the job for easy management of data.
Default = highest point number + 1

NextTopoPoint
The point number to be used when creating the next Topo point (these usually have a height). This allows you to keep Topo or field data in separate number ranges in the job for easy management of data.

Adjustment Parameters

Ang_Test
Tolerances for bearings are specified in seconds of arc.
If the difference between the line computed from the initial coordinates and the measured line is greater than this value,
then a warning will be displayed as the adjustment is built
Default 6000 secs

 Closept_Tol
The Close points check will flag any points closer than the specified distance which do not have a
dimension between them. This is a good way to find common points that have been missed in the joining process.
Default = 0.2m

 Dist_Test
Tolerances for distances are specified in metres. If the difference between the line computed from the initial coordinates and the measured
line is greater than this value, then a warning will be displayed as the adjustment is built.
The adjustment will be stopped if any difference is greater than three times the tolerance.
This is a safeguard against including blunders.
Default = 0.1m

 Force_Linept_Tol
If a line point is found within the tolerance specified, it will be forced back on to the line.
If it is outside the tolerance, a warning message will be given in the adjustment report.
Default = 0.1m

 Linept_Tol
Line points are checked for their distance from the line that they are supposed to lie on and a check is
also made to see if the line point is close to either end of its line.
Default = 0.1m

 Straight_Line_Tol
If a line point is found within the tolerance specified, it will be forced back on to the line.
If it is outside the tolerance, a warning message will be given in the adjustment report.
Default = 0.1m

 Adj_Easements
If Y all easement dimensions will be included in the
main adjustment process and given the same weighting as the parcel boundary lines.
Default = N

 Adj_Historical
If Y all Historical parcels will be included in the adjustment
Default = N

 Adj_Strata
If Y, Ground Floor Strata/UTS parcels will be included in the adjustment
Default = N

Triangle Parameters

MaxTriangleSide

Default = N

 IgnoreNonContPts
If Y non contourable points on Discontinuities/breaklines are ignored for triangle formation

 IgnoreSegsBdy
