Thanks Matt, I think that worked...sort of. I do have polylines for the Alignments showing up. I am not sure if the curves are there, however. Graphically, it just looks like chords, and the distance of the polyline is shorter than the Alignments stationing. Appears it just drew a polyline...

Okay, I will check that next time I am onsite. I do see that it is on Page 0 using the Info icon in Edit Alignment. How could I change the page? Alignments don't seem to show up in the Points listings where I can edit that. Also, if I wanted to just create a polyline of the Alignment, how...

Hi Matt, I believe the Alignments are all on Page 0 as well as my survey points. The points show up, but I don't see the Alignments. How do I verify the Alignments are turned on, or even the Page they are on for that matter?

Hi all, Have not posted in a while, trying to be retired! I am doing some minor staking for an old client on an old job, and can't for the life of me figure out how to get a rather complicated Alignment to show up in the Map. I stake to it, but it doesn't show up in Map. This Alignment was...

On it's way Michael. Also, like before, attached is a TXT file of the correct values from my CAD file. I was able to import the Unshifted points from the LS into my CAD drawing and do the Shift (translation) there to create correct values. Let me know if you need additional information...

So this problem happened again today. Different job, many miles from the other problem area. This site was originally done back in 2019. At that time, I established a magnail control point (1) and shifted it onto another established control point monument. Did my business with no issues. I...

Hi Nate, thanks but I actually worked around it also and finished what I needed today. Took less than an hour, but it's my third trip out there! Oh well. I just readjusted everything again in the LS, then walked to one of my control points and directly occupied it. Checks looked good and the...

Hi Michael, Project is on it's way. Also, attached is a TXT file of the points from my CAD file that reflect the correct positions. The main points that I used for the base are 1 and 2. I attempted to Shift to point 3 from a random point at 5894 most recently. As I said, this was my first...

Hi Everyone, I have used the Shift function in Collect (not Cogo) many, many times since I discovered it, and it has always worked flawlessly. This week, I had it fail badly. Which is better than failing only slightly, I guess. Pretty obvious it was wrong as the points were over 100 feet...

Staked to a surface today. It was grand! Exported a LandXML of my TIN from Carlson, uploaded it to the LS, then staked to it. It worked pretty much flawlessly. Gave me constant cut/fills to the surface so I was able to identify where the contractor has excavated or filled that original data...

Hi All, I created a road alignment in Stake just using "close" coordinates. I plan on locating the controlling monumentation, then Shift/Rotate the alignment to them. When I go into Cogo Shift, however, I don't see the Alignment. Am I missing something here? Bruce

Thank you Matthew! I was training a new helper, and like a lot of younger folks, he was not shy about just "punching buttons".

I was doing some work today in Stake Line by 2 Points and my white boxes just disappeared. They are there in Collect, just not in Stake. I attached a screen shot: Help! Bruce

Okay that seemed to work. My positions in the LS now match my positions in the computer. I chose the points I wanted to adjust using Multi-Select from the Points screen "options" (upper left). Then I chose one of the points to adjust, went into properties ("chart" icon, upper right), hit the...

I am not seeing the Mlocal 2 plane icon for any of these points. I am assuming it's because they are still AU points?
