Hi Roger,

Thanks for your email. The problem with Project Manager default units is
that the Units information for the file is contained in the survey file
itself, so I had over looked the possibility of setting the files default to
the default for Project Manager.

I have changed the Project Manager so that when it creates a new file, the
survey is set to the default units for the Project Manager. You also have
the option of changing them on the fly at the point where you enter the
survey name. There is a new version of the Compass on the inter net with the
changes.

There are a bunch of other units that apply to new surveys, but I didn't
think they were as important as the Meter/Feet issue. As a result, you will
have to go to Editor to set things like the shot order, etc.

Larry

Subject: [compass-users] different behavior of Cave Editor

Hi there,


after a long pause I am now back! I observed some odd behavior in
Compass which is probably a bug.

If I fire up Cave Editor from the Windows Start Menu or from Project
Manager with "Run Editor manually" it uses my user preferences for
instrument order (Length, Inclination, Compass) and units (Meters and
Degrees). But if I use "Create new survey file" in Project Manager and
open the new file by clicking "Edit Cave Survey or File" the editor uses
its factory settings Length, Compass, Inclination and Decimal Feet. This
is confusing.


Regards

Roger
