Coordinate Register¶

The coordinate register KREG is a project-independent "point bank." KREG consists of a set of application layers with known points, one application layer for each reference system being used. KREG can be stored in both the User folder and the project folder, with the project folder having first priority.

Only unique points of high quality, such as fixed markers, should be transferred to KREG.

Functionality¶

With KREG, the program will automatically search for known points during pre-calculation, creation of stations, and targeting for observations.

Each coordinate file is an application layer with a name dependent on the reference system, stored as a .gmi file.

Example¶

Project with the following settings:

Coordinate system: EUR89 32: ETRS89/UTM ZONE 32N
Height system: NN2000: NN 2000 heights

The KREG application layer for this reference system will be named EUR89 32-NN2000.gmi

Important Note on Point Numbering¶

It is important to be accurate and consistent with point numbering in KREG. During pre-calculation, creation of a station, or observation, the program will first search among the project's points, and then automatically in KREG.

Warning

If, for example, you use the common designation HP1 (help point 1) for points during measurement (free station points that will be included in further calculations), these should not be stored in KREG. The next time you use the designation HP1 in another task, the program will search for HP1 in KREG, and if it exists there, the point will receive completely incorrect coordinates.

Establishing and Storing Points in the Coordinate Register¶

A coordinate file for a coordinate system is established in the usual way by creating a surveying application layer and naming it according to the rule described above, and then adding/importing known points. If the coordinate file should be available for other projects, the file can be copied to the User folder.
