4.2 Changing Project Options Using Options Dialogs
To set or change options for the current project, choose Options>Project, or press the
Project Options tool button.
An options dialog appears with eight tabbed dialog categories: Adjustment, General,
Instrument, Listing File, Other Files, Special, GPS and Modeling. The last two
dialogs, GPS and Modeling, are are used only with the “Professional” edition and are
described in the separate “PRO” manual supplement attached.
To review any option category, click the tab to open that specific options dialog. Make
necessary changes on one or more of the tabbed dialogs, and press OK to save your
changes. Or press Cancel to ignore all changes you have made.
As discussed on the previous page, when you save options, these settings will be stored
in a “PROJECT.PRJ” file having your project name. For example, if your project name
is SouthPark, the options are stored in a file named SouthPark.prj.
Specific details on settings for each of the option dialogs are described in detail on the
following pages.
4.3 Changing Project Options Using Inline Options
The options set in the project option dialogs described above assume the settings relate
to an entire project. However there are some settings related to observation data that may
not remain the same throughout an entire data file. Changes to option settings within the
data file are controlled by “Inline Options.”
For example, the setting for “refraction constant” in the options dialog has a single value.
But if you want to change this value one or more times for groups of observations in a
data file, insert a line like the one below to change the refraction constant for
observations following it:
.REF 0.085
These “inline” options give you much flexibility – you are not tied down just to option
settings in the option dialogs. “Inlines” allow you to change units anywhere in your data,
change between 2D and 3D formatted data, change weighting of observations using
instrument library scheme names, and much more.
Some of these inline options are mentioned in the descriptions of the project option
dialog settings on the following pages. Since these inline options are entered right in
your data files, their full descriptions along with examples are discussed in Chapter 5,
“Preparing Data,” in a section named “Using Inline Options.”
