using area in new infosnap

twimc (chris?)

I know i should be asking this at viecon but i haven't worked that one
out yet. In the old version of infosnap you were able to divide area
over 1000,000 so that mm2 would be converted to m2 when using
tentative to retrieve. Is there a way to do this in v8 infosnap? My
maths isn't that good and I worry that one day i will make a schoolboy
error in taking off areas.

Thanks

Ashley

 

Is there a way to do this in v8 infosnap?

Of course it is.
Download the 1.0.2 and take a look into the release notes (SCALE stuff).

BTW, 1.0.3 is due within a week or so, so make a habit of looking into
our download site (http://www.ustation.se) at least once a month!

Isn't there two problems with this
a/ it also affects distance- which I prefer to be mm allways
b/ there is a rounding (?) of value-digits so that 5501 mm turns into 6
meters

I'd like the distance/lenght to be full mm and area to be m2 allways.

If possible.

 

Hi,

Ad a:
This will be addressed in upcoming update.

Ad b:
Rounding is dictated by your DGN Settings (coordinate readout) -- if
it is set there to show whole units (no decimals) only, you will receive only
whole units. In your example, 5.501 rounds up to 6, and 5.499 rounds
down to 5.

 

The new commands seems fine Chris.
Thanks
