Figures

Tangents, arcs and curvy lines in FieldGenius are also called figures. Figures are created automatically for you as soon as you connect points in the drawing.

Figures can be created while you survey in real-time using our active linework or you can manually create the figure using the pencil tool.

FieldGenius Figures

When you click on a figure the Line Toolbar will appear. You will also see bold text in the drawing area indicating what you selected.

DXF Linework

When you import a DXF drawing you will see all the linework that exists in the drawing. When you select a DXF line or arc you will see the Line Toolbar but everything will be greyed out except for the stake and perpendicular distance buttons. If you press the stake button or perpendicular offset to point button, they will open up their respective toolbars.

When you click on a DXF entity you will see bold text in the drawing area indicating that you picked a DXF line or arc, and it will display which layer it is on.

You can control the visibility of DXF layers through the Layers Manager screen.

	Coordinate DXF Data You can add coordinates to the DXF entity by pressing the Coordinate DXF Data button.
	Information You will see the inverse information based on the DXF entity you picked by pressing the Information button
