“Ellipsoid” (no geoid used) and “EGM84” (global
earth geoid model) are the two default options. Other
geoids may be prompted in this field after you have
downloaded them to the receiver from the Internet via
the link found on the MobileMapper Software CD.
4. Tap OK.
5. The program now asks you to define the properties of the
layer. The table below summarizes the different properties
you should define for the layer, according to its type.
For more information on layer properties and how to define
attributes, see Layer Properties on page 16.
6. Tap OK when you are finished with the properties of the
layer. A message then asks you whether you want to add a
new layer.
7. Add as many layers as necessary, using the above
procedure.
Very Important! As long as you do not log a feature through a
given layer, you can still add new attributes to the layer but
once a feature has been logged, no more changes, apart from
those linked to the appearance you give to the features on the
screen, are allowed in the layer.
Adding Layers into
a DXF Job
The procedure is quite similar to attaching a layer to a Map
job. Among the similarities are first the prior necessity to
define a coordinate system for the job and second, the
availability of the same viewing options and attributes for the
features you will log through a given layer (see Adding
Existing Layers to a Map Job on page 19 for the details).
But unlike Map jobs, DXF jobs cannot use or re-use layers
that are external to the job. With DXF jobs, you can only
create one or more new layers within the job, right after
defining the coordinate system. Another difference lies in the
absence of an assumed feature geometry in a layer, which
