Point Number, North, East, & Elevation along with a

simple to learn AutoTOPO “Feature Code”. 
            (Most will be only 3 characters long)

An optional alignment

topo symbol Blocks

topo linework

shot labels

into an AutoCAD™ drawing.

Blocks and labels can be automatically placed oriented

	to a complex alignment that has unlimited curves and tangents ("alignment" could be a property line... etc.,etc.)
	to a specific azimuth

All items for specific feature code can be placed on separate Layers

	Point Number, Description, Elevation, Block, Linework
	Layers are automatically created
	Layers are user definable
	You can have multiple "Layer Definition" files (i.e.  for different clients)

Feature codes are 

	Unlimited in number
	Easy to add     (ASCII text files)
	Alpha or Numeric (ex.  TRE = tree,  FNC = fence, 123 = fence)
	Auxiliary Code files add unlimited "shorthand" coding (ex.  CN=concrete,  WD=wood, BW=barbed wire) FNCWD  BW.T1.SB.H72.T in bad shape Fence Wood Barbwire Tangent line on feature #1 DTM surface breakline Height = 72 Desc= in bad shape After initial definition this feature can be referred to as just ".T1" or  ".C1" or  ".A1" or ".E1"  (Curve,  Arc,  End-of-line)

Multiple feature lines can be traced simultaneously

	1-9999 available
	Can be same feature code

Multiple attributes can be attached to individual shots

	Diameter, Height, Width, User Description...etc.
	If shot should be used in Digital Terrain Model and how (point or breakline or omit)

Fieldcode has the power to orient individual Blocks

	to a specific azimuth
	to the previous or following topo shot
	to a specific topo shot

Fieldcode has the power to scale individual Blocks

	to a specific shot attribute     (ex. diameter)
	scaling can be set to a range of values for the attribute     ex.  01"-12" scale factor=1            12"-24" scale factor=2            24"-99" scale factor=3

Fieldcode has the power to draw individual elements

	stub line to a specific shot number
	stub line to previous or next shot
	circle to a specific user defined radius (distance or shot#)
	secondary Block placement at shot location

Creates formatted reports with any or all data including

Stations and Offsets from a complex alignment.
    (reports are simple ASCII text files)

Program can deal with Back & Ahead stationing.
    (i.e. angle point "twilight zones"    and    off-end-of alignment)

Program can "fix" arc shots.  (F-Arc)
Multiple shots (4 or more) along an apparent arc can be analyzed
then adjusted by linear regression to fall on an exact arc.
Avoid DTM breakline "cross-over"

Elevation is not changed.

Perfect for top of curb & flowline on curb returns

Huge array to tools to analyze,  modify, smooth, force fit and correct data

Automated manual point labeling of ...

	User selected feature codes or ranges of points
	Can be oriented to Fixed Azimuth To the next point To a complex alignment
	use any or all shot attributes in the label. Pt# Coordinates Station/Offset Description ....etc, etc. etc. You can even use user defined text
	Label text can be stacked or on a single line.
	May have a leader and a doughnut
