How do you move a few points (helper used "From Auto" on one base setup

One of my helpers set up on our regular base WITHOUT picking the appropriate point. Instead, that person chose "From Auto," even though we had been working off the adjusted position of this point for weeks. She surveyed about 29 points, which are all "off" by exactly the same amount (we do field checks - the displacement is -1.272N +4.8502E

I have been trying to fix this for several hours (I could have resurveyed it by now). The move is easy in AutoCad (pick the points from that day, and MOVE). I want the Javad file to be correct as well. I tried the COGO move and shift options, but that won't let me select the points. I can only select Design points, which these are not.

How can I move these Surveyed points (202-228), and these points only, in J-Field? We have hundred of good points, so I only want to move these.

From DPOS screen, @ the bottom of the screen, those plane looking things. Click it, and it will allow you to set the values for the base. There are a few steps. If you DPOS it, it will set it nearly correct. Typicly.
It's not in front of me. But that will head you off in the right direction.

Thank you Matt and Nate. I think I could make those things work, but we don't seem to have a Base File that is attached to the errant points. I can see the Base coordinates in the Points screen, and they are wrong, but it doesn't tell me which Base Point the Rover Points are attached to. I know which session it was (2019072-155254), but when I DPOS this session, it only shows the one point. It corrected it, but it didn't move the other points accordingly. Is there a way to "re-attach" those points to the Base File?

Download the base file again if you don't see it attached. Then you can delete the dpos session and recreate it. Tap points menu, then recover dpos. In dpos make sure process all points is checked.

If that don't work you could delete the base point and then use recover base point and attach file from points menu. Then recover dpos.
