Hi there

I've recently purchased a DA2 and in enjoying using it. But I'm having a few learning curve issues I'd like some help with

When I'm recording a datum point in the field I sometimes want to add a photograph with it. How do I do that?

1. I'm using a Samsung so am on the android system

Hi there

I followed through what you've said and that makes sense

but it seems limited to when I can take photographs. Is this correct

For instance I'm wanting to mark out the edge of a river or a fence line...

So in my iFeature selection, under Topo I would choose either fence or shore. Most of the time I just need to collect the node.

Occasionally, when there is a significant feature around that I might want to remember, I want to add a photograph to that node. How do I do it then?

I've just tried this now - and it was slow and cumbersome.

PS

how from Penmap manager on my phone do I cause to upload the latest recordings. Sorry I've forgotten , it's been a stressful week

Another issue I'm having - when I export my result files from Trimble connect.

I can open the DWG or dxf (using a program called eDrawings – part of solidworks and Desalt Systems and I see the line drawings well. I can see different colours are used for different types of features. That's great

I can see the numerical number of the node that I have zoomed in on – like the one below – number 143 at a height of 16.9

but the 16.9 is only accurate to one decimal point. Can you recommend a program or a technique where I can see the decimal point to a much greater value – as per DA2 recorded?

With the spreadsheets that are exported, sometimes I notice that the recording number (e.g. 143) is present in other times it's not

How do I insure this to happen all the time and with the photographs to be associated with this too

Can you please help me figure this out as I need to do my first proper survey this Saturday

Hi Patrik

I replied to this email of yours a few days ago but I hadn't heard back from you yet

I still don't know how to merge the two capabilities - photographs and fence line

if I use the iFeature, topo, fence - then I can proceed to collect node/points and a line is automatically drawn (as you described) but from time to time, on one of those node/points I want to add a photograph that I can refer to later to draw my attention to some particular thing

I cannot see, following what you have instructed how I can do that – on-the-fly. Only by going back into iFeature ....

As I said, when I was introduced to this by the gentleman using an iPhone he was able to do both at once. Why can't I?

Your help ASAP would be greatly appreciated - had to cancel my first survey that I had booked into because I did not know how to achieve this

Hi There

Thank you for your prompt reply

In one of your previous emails you attempted to demonstrate to me the idea of editing the template. That sounds like best way to go

I tried to figure out from the email you sent me how to do that - but I was not able to

are you able to share any more clues with me? - Perhaps the exact link on the help files

I will ask my local distributor to help me tomorrow
