<strong>QUICK</strong> <strong>START</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong> (<strong>for</strong> <strong>Eagle</strong> <strong>Point</strong> <strong>software</strong>)<br />

MENU: Data Collection, Jobs, Import ASCII File COMMAND: dcimp ICON:<br />

Reduction settings<br />

Enter a job name <strong>for</strong> the imported points.<br />

Enter the file name or click the folder icon to browse to<br />

the folder. This file will normally be a “csv” file (i.e.,<br />

comma delimited text file) that comes from another<br />

program (e.g., Excel, Trimble Geomatics, etc.).<br />

Select “Coordinate” <strong>for</strong>mat. This <strong>for</strong>mat is<br />

<strong>Point</strong>#, Northing, Easting, Elevation, Description<br />

so the file being imported should match that <strong>for</strong>mat.<br />

MENU: Data Collection, Options, Reduction Settings COMMAND: dcset ICON:<br />

Change various settings (e.g., collector, default field code, shot averaging, etc.) prior to reducing survey data. To set the<br />

default field code, click the “Graphics” tab and select the desired code.<br />

Reduce<br />

MENU: Data Collection, Jobs, Reduce COMMAND: reduce ICON:<br />

This processes a data file into the drawing (i.e., places nodes with point symbols and line work).<br />

Check data in plan view and, if so desired, in elevation view (AutoCAD command: -view, Orthographic, Front).<br />

If there are errors and you would like to edit the raw data file and re-reduce the data, return to “Edit <strong>for</strong>matted file” steps<br />

above.<br />
