In this job, you can calculate the coordinates of the points measured by using the construction distances.
Enter the measured points, their perpendiculars, or their coordinates one by one onto the list in the upper section of the dialog window. The perpendiculars on the right from the previous connecting line are positive; the perpendiculars on the left are negative. The program ignores the perpendicular at the first point (it implicitly offers the value zero). When adding the points, the program instantly calculates their coordinates.
If you want to add a new point to the list (e.g. a point skipped by accident when entering), using the cursor, select the item in front of which you want to insert the new point and add the point in the usual way.
Between the measured points must be at least two points with known coordinates. These points can be at any position among the measured points (they do not have to be at the end or at the beginning). The maximum number of identical points is not limited.
The point coordinates are determined using similarity transformation.

If there are too many identical points (three and more), the transformation will not identify both systems in the identical points; therefore, the calculation will change the coordinates of the identical points. You are informed about this when storing the calculated points (if you store them on the list where the identical points are already) - the program will notify you that the points already exist on the list and will display the differences between the original and new coordinates. |
You can store the calculated coordinates in an arbitrary list by mouse-dragging them from the calculated data list (you have to point the mouse cursor anywhere in the section with the results except the calculated values list).

When pressing the <Enter> key on the input line with the distance, the program automatically adds the entered data to the list and sets the line with the point number as active for the next entry. |
