Overview

The Reference Line application program can be used to set out or measure points relative
to a reference line or a reference arc.
The Reference Line application program can be used for the following tasks:
• Measuring to a line/arc where the position of a target point can be calculated from its posi-
tion relative to the defined reference line/arc.
• Staking to a line/arc where a target point is known and instructions to locate the point are
given relative to the reference line/arc.
• Gridstaking a line/arc where a grid can be staked relative to a reference line/arc.
Other functionality available includes:
• Offsetting the reference line/arc horizontally or vertically. The radius of the arc changes
with the horizontal offset.
• Shifting the reference line with parallel offsets or rotating to match predefined setting out
instructions.
• Measuring points and staking points on slopes related to a reference line/arc.
The Reference Line application program must be activated via a licence key. Refer to "28
Tools...\Licence Keys" for information on how to activate the application program.
Reference lines/arcs can be created from points stored as:
• WGS 1984 geodetic
