COGO
Overview
COGO is an app to perform coordinate geometry calculations such as
coordinates of points.
•
bearings between points.
•
•
distances between points.
The calculations can be made from
existing point data in the job, known distances or known azimuths.
•
•
manually measured points.
entered coordinates.
•
In contrast to hidden point measurements within the Measure app, COGO is
more of a calculation program than a measuring program.
If the working job has linked jobs, then the list of points available for the cal-
culations contains points from the working job and the linked jobs.
If the working job has no linked jobs, then the points from the working job will
be used.
Changing coordinates of a point which has been previously used in COGO does
not result in the point being recomputed.
The COGO calculation methods are:
•
Inverse
Bearing & distance
•
•
Intersection
Line and arc calculations
•
Object division
•
•
Shift, rotate & scale
Angle calculations
•
Horizontal curve
•
•
Triangle

Distances
The choices are
•
Ground
Grid
•
Ellipsoidal
•
Azimuths
The azimuths are grid azimuths relative to the local grid.
•
Point coding is available in the results panel after the COGO calculation.
Point coding of COGO points is identical to coding manually measured
points. Refer to "27 Coding" for information on coding.
For the COGO calculation shift, rotate & scale, the codes from the original
•
points are taken over for the calculated COGO points.
