Using Alignment Documents - Switching Between Measured Alignment Items
Switching Between Measured Alignment Items
When Alignment Manager is actively applying an alignment object to data collection it is possible to switch between the current alignment and an alternate measured item. This allows you to change the active part coordinate system at any time, even when actively collecting data for a feature.
To Switch Between Measured Alignment Items
-
Select the radio button of the measured alignment item that you want to make the current alignment item.

Note: To confirm that an alignment has been measured this session, left click on the name of the alignment item in the alignment document tree and related information, including the measure date for the item, is displayed in the right hand pane of Alignment Manager. |

Warning: If the selected alignment item has not been measured, data collection is stopped and you are requested to measure the item. |
