SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS – LEICA GEOSYSTEMS TRUSTED SERVICES
Leica Exchange Leica Exchange is the latest service to be offered by Leica Geosystems for
SmartWorx Viva users.
Leica Exchange allows data to be transferred extremely easily between users –

between the office and the field users and even between field users or even of-
fice users.
For example, the following scenarios show how Leica Exchange can improve the
overall efficiency and productivity of a company
- As soon as the field work is complete, the survey data can be transferred
to the office for quick verification before the field team leaves the site.
The office team can immediately start processing the data, and if needed
instruct the field team to collect additional data. This can save the field
crew having to visit the site a second time.
- A change in the design from the office can be sent to the field crew. The
field crew are immediately notified that new data is available and can
download and use the new design. With the most up-to-date data, ex-
pensive re-work can be avoided.
- A field crew arrives on site and had forgotten the codelist to be used. In-
stead of driving all the way back to the office, the office team can imme-
diately send the field crew the codelist.
Leica Viva
In order to use Leica Exchange, the following is needed.
- Leica Exchange Office Software and related license key.

- Leica Exchange license key for the CS Field Controller or TS total station
- Leica Exchange subscription
- myWorld account to administer users
Using Leica Exchange within SmartWorx Viva is extremely simple. Access the
Leica Exchange menu using 4, 4, 7 from the main menu.
From here, data can be sent to the office and data can be retrieved from the
office. The status of the data transfer and the connection status can be viewed.
The table below details some of the additional features and benefits of using
Leica Exchange.
Feature Benefit
Transfer data For example the GPS survey crew may have just com-
from the field to pleted surveying all the control points within a site. Other
any number of field crews are waiting for the coordinates of these control
users (field points in order to start their work. The GPS survey crew
and/or office). can transfer the job to all other survey crews working on
this site.

Choosing not to attach image files and/or CAD files makes
the size of the file being transferred much smaller
- When getting job and data objects, it is possible to con-

figure to which memory device (SD card, CF card, USB
stick or internal memory) these objects should be stored
to.
Leica Viva
- The order in which the objects on the CS Field Controller
or TS total station are shown can be configured. It may
make it easier to select objects if the most recently used
objects are at the top of the list

SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS – IMAGING RELATED IMPROVEMENTS
3D Data Overlay in When using the camera on the TS11/15 imaging total stations, it is now possible
Camera page tab to view points, lines and areas stored within the job in the Camera page tab
within apps – a true 3D data overlay.
As the total station is turned the points, lines and areas are correctly positioned
over the camera image. Points which are further away from the total station are
shown smaller (in the correct perspective) than points closer to the total station.
All points can be shown – total station measured points, GNSS measured points,
control points and so on.
The symbol shape with which the point is displayed depends on the class of the
point. For example, control points are shown as triangles and measured points
are shown as spheres.
The 3D data overlay is shown when working onboard the total station but also
when working robotically with a CS Field Controller.
There are a number of settings which can help optimise the viewing of the points,
lines and areas within the Camera page tab.
The distance sliders

The distance sliders can be activated by pressing the distance slider toolbar
button on the toolbar.
The bottom slider allows the “minimum distance” to be set. The minimum dis-
tance means that only points, lines and areas which are further away from the
than this distance are shown.
The top slider allows the “maximum distance” to be set. The maximum distance
means that only points, lines and areas which are closer to the than this distance
are shown.
It can be useful to filter what is viewed in this way when there are many points in
a job.
Points, Lines and Areas display

The display of points, lines and areas from a job can be configured in the Cam-
era View Settings panel, Points display and Lines / areas display page tabs.
Leica Viva
The following can be configured
- the information displayed alongside the point
- the colour of the point symbol
- the number of points to be displayed
- if only points measured from the current total station setup should be
shown
Note also that the points which are shown also depend on the general data man-
agement point, line and area filter settings.
Video streaming The viewing of what the total station can see (from the total station wide angle
from Viva TS Imag- camera) on the CS Field Controller has been greatly improved.
ing total stations to
CS Field Controllers A “video” is now streamed from the TS total station to the CS Field Controller
which provides an update rate of 10Hz. This means the user can see much
more clearly exactly what the total station can “see”.
The 10Hz update rate is only possible when using the CTS radio cap on the CS
Filed Controller and RH16 radio handle on the TS total station. More information
on the CTS radio cap and RH16 is provided later in the release notes.
Other communication devices (such as the internal CS Field Controller total sta-
tion radio and like a radio handle RH15 radio handle) can still be used, but pro-
vide only a 3Hz update rate.
Panoramic Image It is now possible to capture “panoramic” images from the TS imaging total sta-
Capture tions.
From the Leica TPS Favourites menu (or use a hot key) select the Panoramic
image option to access the panel where the type of panoramic image to be cap-
tured can be selected.
Leica Viva
The following panoramic image types can be selected:
- Rectangular area
- Multi-row 360° image
- Single-row 360° image
- Polygonal area
After selecting the image type the extents of the area to be captured are defined.
Once the extents are defined the image capturing can be started. Once all im-
ages are captured, they are then stitched to form one image.
The image can then be sketched on if desired, as with any other image.
The image can then finally be stored and can be linked to the total station setup
point if desired.
Sketch Pad Tem- With SmartWorx Viva v3.50, the use of sketch pad templates was introduced.
plates This allowed to sketch on lined or grid “paper”.
The ability for the user to create his own sketch templates has now been added.
Sketch templates can be created in any software such as Microsoft Word,

Paint.NET for example. All that is needed is that ultimately a .jpg file must be
created which is less then 5Mpixel in size.
The .jpg file(s) must then be transferred to the TS Total Station or CS Field Con-
troller. The file must be placed in the Config/Sketch_Template folder of the
memory device being used. The sketch templates can then be transferred using
Leica Viva
the existing Transfer User Objects panel which has been extended to support
sketch templates.
Once the sketch templates are transferred to the TS Total Station or CS Field
Controller then they can be selected to be used.
Once selected the sketch template can be sketched on as normal.
The possibilities of using pre-defined sketch templates are endless. Some exam-
ples are given below
- as a check list for a non-experienced surveyor to check the total station
is setup correctly
- information collection for any objects being surveyed
- stakeout check list (peg in ground, dig depth written on peg)
Leica Viva
- etc etc etc
A sketch template can be created in a variety of ways.
An easy way to create a sketch template is to use Power Point. Setup the slide
size and add the required graphical elements, text or tables and save the slide as
JPEG file. To do this, access the File menu and select Save As, in the Save As
Type list box choose JPEG File Interchange Format.
Other software (such as Microsoft Word etc) could be used to create a sketch
template. Either directly save it as JPG file, convert it to JPG or simply use a
screen capture program.

SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS – MAP RELATED IMPROVEMENTS
Tap Map and exten- What is the “Tap-Map”?

sions to pop-up The tap-map can be accessed from the main menu of SmartWorx Viva by press-
menus ing F6(Map).
The data shown in this map is configured by pressing F3(Jobs) – here it is pos-
sible to choose from which jobs data should be shown. This can be either the
Working job or Control job and in addition could also show data from a Road
job and/or DTM job.
This is useful since it could be it is needed to select points to stake out from a
control job. In this case, choose to show data from the control job – tap on the
point to be staked and choose the Stake point option from the pop-up context
menu.
Or it could be that it is needed to select an alignment from the road job and stake
a slope from this alignment. In this case, choose to show data from the road –
tap on the alignment to be used and choose the Use in Roads option from the
pop-up context menu.
The tap-map basically allows the objects to be used to be selected and then
decide what is needed to be done with the objects.
What was previously possible in SmartWorx Viva?

In SmartWorx Viva v3.50 it was already possible to select single elements of a
CAD drawing attached to a job (.dxf or .shp files) within the Map page tab in cer-
tain screens of the software. It was then possible to tap and hold and a “pop-up
context menu” would appear.
In SmartWorx Viva v4.00 the selection of objects within the Map page tab and
the contents of the pop-up context menus has been greatly extended.
Leica Viva
How many map objects can be tapped and selected?
It is now possible to tap and select multiple objects (previously only one object at
a time could be selected).
Which map objects can be tapped and selected?

The following map objects can be tapped and selected
- elements of a CAD file (as before)
- Points, lines or areas which have been measured and already stored to
a job
- Road alignments stored to a Road job
How can objects be selected?

Objects can be selected by simply tapping on the object. To deselect on an ob-
ject, simply tap on it again.
It is also possible to select multiple objects using the “window select” toolbar
button. This is located on the “second level” of the zooming toolbar.
Once the “window select” toolbar button has been pressed, multiple objects can
be selected by dragging a rectangular window around the objects to be selected.
Dragging the window from right to left will only include all lines and alignments
fully within the rectangle. Dragging the window from left to right will include all
lines and alignments which are fully within the rectangle and also those crossing
Leica Viva
the rectangle.
How is the pop-up context menu activated?

Once the required objects have been selected then tap and hold. The “pop-up”
context menu will appear.
What options appear in the pop-up context menu?

The options which appear in the pop-up context menu depend on which objects
have been selected.
For example, if 2 measured points have been selected then one menu option will
be Create line (which then creates a line between the 2 points).
If 3 measured points have been selected then in addition to the Create line
menu option will also be the Create area menu option.
In which maps can objects be selected and the pop-up context menu be
used?
The Map page tab is available in many places throughout SmartWorx Viva – it is
possible to select objects and use the pop-up menu in most of these maps. Note
that some of the menu options may be different depending on which app is being
used.
Drawing toolbar The drawing toolbar is available to be used within the Map page tabs in the Tap-
within map page Map and the Survey app. To turn it on, access the Map View Settings panel
tabs (Fn+F2(Conf)).
The drawing toolbar allows lines and areas to be created, opened and closed
and points to be added to lines and areas – this is sometimes called Linework.
Points already measured can be easily added to lines and areas and also as
points are being surveyed can be added to lines and areas.
Leica Viva
The easiest way to explain how the drawing toolbar can be used is to describe
some use cases relating to linework.
Use case 1 – Linework while surveying points

In this use case, the surveyor wishes to add points to lines and areas as the
points are being surveyed.
When the surveyor comes across an object to be surveyed such as a fence, the
Create line toolbar button on the drawing toolbar button can be used to create a
new line. Now as points are surveyed, they are added to the line.
When a line or area is open the buttons within the toolbar change. It is now pos-
sible to survey points to the line by simply surveying more points. The Join
points as straight lines toolbar button shows the points will be added with a
straight line between them. Note that because a line is open, the ability to tap
and select multiple points is disabled.
If the surveyor wishes create an arc between points one of the two arc toolbar
buttons can be used. If the Join next 3 points as arc toolbar buttons is pressed
then the next 3 points which are surveyed will be added as an arc to the line. If
the Join next 2 points as arc toolbar buttons is pressed then the next 2 points
which are surveyed will be added as an arc to the line – the last point in the line
when the toolbar button was pressed is used as the first point in the arc.
Additionally, when the line is open, it is possible to define the line style and col-
our of the line. Activate the second level of the toolbar and select the line style
and colour.
When the surveyor has finished adding points to that line, the Stop button can be
pressed to close the line.
Use case 2 – Linework with already surveyed points

In this use case, the surveyor has already measured lots of points. The points
were measured as quickly as possible and the surveyor did NOT create lines and
add these points to lines as he was surveying.
The surveyor can now sit in his truck and use the drawing toolbar to do his line-
work.
Leica Viva
Using the drawing toolbar and tapping on the Create line toolbar button the sur-
veyor creates a new line. As the new line is created, the line is also automatically
opened.
The surveyor can now tap on the already surveyed points and add them to the
line. The arc and the line style and colour toolbar buttons can be used as before.
It is now possible to repeat the process and create additional lines and areas as
described above.
Viewing of DTM sur- The triangles of the DTM job chosen to be used are now shown with the Stake-
faces within Stake- out DTM and Stakeout DTM and Points apps.

This may be useful in countries where the orientation of a CAD file is switched.
To do this, access the Regional Settings panel, Coords page tab.
This setting is then applied to all apps which import or display CAD files.

SmartWorx Viva.
radio cap and RH16
total station radio The new radio cap combined with the new radio handle allows the video stream-
handle ing feature from the TS total station to the CS Field Controller (see above).
Another advantage of using the new radio cap and radio handle is that an unlim-
ited number of users using this radio cap and radio handle robotic setup combi-
nation can work in a small area. This is because the TS total station and CS
Field Controller are linked using unique numbers. Previously, link numbers (radio
channels) were used which could lead to problems when different users used the
same link numbers.
The new radio handle can be selected to be used within the CS Connection Wiz-
ard on the TS total station as today. If the radio handle is attached to the total
station then it will be automatically detected.
Leica Viva
The new radio cap can be selected to be used within the TPS Connection wizard
on the CS Field Controller in the normal way.
A search for the total station will display the serial number of the total station plus
an ‘RH _’ prefix.
The article numbers are as follows

- 788855 CTR16 radio cap for CS15 Field Controller
- 788853 RH16 radio handle for TS total station
Note, there is NO CTR radio cap for the CS10 Field Controller.

ASCII Input and TPS The “ASCII Input Interface” was previously only supported with GPS auto logged
auto logged points points. It is now also supported with TPS auto logged points.
This is ideal for use where a prism is mounted on a boat on a small lake and the
total station is positioned on the side of the lake, locked onto the prism on the
boat. Also on the boat is the CS Field Controller to which is connected a depth
sounder. As the boat moves around the lake storing, the depth sound reading
measurements are taken and passed to the CS Field Controller. These meas-
urements are stored as an annotation to the stored auto logged TPS points.

SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS – GNSS SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS
Leica xRTK Leica xRTK is a new “position type”. Previously, the following position types were
available
Position type Position icon which is shown Approximate accuracy

Phase fixed 1 to 10cm
Code only 30cm to 1m
Navigated 1m to 5m
From the table above it can be seen there is a “gap”. There is no position type
available with an accuracy between 10cm and 30cm – which could be a “usable
accuracy” for certain GNSS applications – for example, forestry or seismic work.
The new xRTK position type is actually a phase fixed position – but with lower
accuracy.
The use of xRTK basically provide more positions of a higher accuracy in more
difficult conditions – such as under tree canopies.
Position type Position icon which is shown Approximate accuracy

xRTK 10cm to 30cm
To activate the use of xRTK then check the Calculate xRTK positions within
the RTK Rover Settings panel, Advanced page tab.
Leica Viva
Note, xRTK is not available with the GS08 GNSS sensor – it is only available
with the GS25, GS15, GS12 and GS10 GNSS sensors.
GS08 and GS12 as It is now possible to use the Leica Viva GS08 and GS12 GNSS Sensors as RTK
RTK base base stations.
This functionality is available with the following licence keys
- 792349 CS/GS08, RTK Reference station option. This allows a GS08

Sensor to transmit RTK data. Remember that a GS08 can only be used
with a CS10 and SmartWorx Viva LT.
- 792350 CS/GS12, RTK Reference station option, allows a GS12 Sensor
to transmit RTK data.
The serial number of the CS Field Controller must be supplied when ordering
these licenses.
Once these licences are loaded to the CS Field Controller then the Go to base
menu option can be chosen from the Go to Work! menu and the GS08 or GS12
Sensor can be configured as an RTK base.
The setup for using a GS08 or GS12 Sensor as an RTK base is as shown below.
Note the following

- An external battery must be used to power the GS08 or GS12
- It is only possible to connect to the GS08 or GS12 Sensor using a Blue-
tooth connection. A cable connection is not possible
- The CS Field Controller is only used to configure the GS08 or GS12
Sensor as an RTK base. Once configured and transmitting RTK correc-
tions the CS Field Controller no longer needs to remain at the base
- It is only possible to transmit RTCM v3 corrections from the GS08 or
GS12 Sensor
- It is possible to use radio and GSM/GPRS/UMTS devices at the base
station. Normally the devices will be in a GFU housing
- When using a GSM/GPRS/UMTS device then only a “direct dial-up”
connection from the rover to the base is possible. It is not possible to
connect the GS08 or GS12 to the Internet when being used as an RTK
Leica Viva
base
- It is possible to use “external” radios such as Satel or Pac Crest high
power radios. If using the Satel radio then the 636805 GEV114 cable is
required in addition to the GEV205 cable – if using the Pac Crest then
contact your local Pac Crest dealer
- It is not possible to log raw data when using a GS08 or GS12 as a
base Sensor
The GS08 or GS12 Sensor must be loaded with the following firmware file –
ME4_6110.fw. This file can be obtained from myWorld or the SmartWorx Viva
v4.00 DVD. The firmware must be loaded using the CS Field Controller.
Important: The GFU28 module (which contains the Telit 3.5G module) cannot
be used at the GS08/GS12 base station. The GFU24 module (which contains the
Siemens MC75 module) must be used.
Support of the CGR The CS CGR10 and CGR15 “radio caps” for the CS10 and CS15 CS Field Con-
radio caps trollers are now supported within SmartWorx Viva.
These caps attach to the field controllers and can be used to receive RTK correc-
tions when working as a rover.
The new radio caps can be used with the following Leica GS sensors - GS08,
GS10, GS12, GS15 and GS25. They cannot be used with the GS05 and GS06
sensors.
The article numbers are as follows

- 789635 CGR15 radio for CS15 Field Controllers
- 789634 CGR10 radio for CS10 Field Controllers
In addition, the following antenna is needed

- 790505 GAT21 CGR radio antenna
The radio inside the “radio caps” is a receive only radio modem. It is therefore
not possible to use the new radio caps as an RTK base
Support of the Viva The new Leica GS25 Viva GNSS Receiver is now supported within SmartWorx
GS25 GNSS Sensor Viva.
The Leica GS25 provides the maximum flexibility and extreme reliability for the
most demanding applications.
The integrated WebServer, the onboard display and user interface and Smart-
Leica Viva
Worx Viva can all be used to control the Leica GS25 receiver.
The configuration and use of the GS25 is completely integrated in SmartWorx

Viva.
In addition to the same functionality as the Leica GS10 and Leica GS15 sensors
there is also the ability to configure the PPS Output or Event Input in the Con-
nection Settings panel.

Remember the column widths can be changed by dragging the columns.
Also when editing a point it is now possible to edit the previous or next point in
the list using the F3(Prev) and F4(Next) keys.
This also applies to the viewing of images – the F3(Prev) and F4(Next) keys
allow to quickly move to the next image to be viewed.
Numerical sorting of Points within jobs created in SmartWorx Viva v4.00 are now stored in a true nu-
points merical order (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,12…20,21 etc).
Previously points were stored in an “alphanumerical” order (1,10,2,20,3,4,5 etc)
If the job is passed to a CS Field Controller or TS total station operating on an

earlier SmartWorx Viva version then the numeric sort order will revert to the al-
phanumerical order.

The additional code information stored with the point could be ST_01_LN
The CAD package would assign the appropriate line style and colour to the code
Fence.
The CAD package would interpret the additional code information as starting line
number 1.
To enter the additional code information while surveying, the Code information
prompt needs to be configured to be used in My Survey Screen Settings (4,1,3
from main menu).
Leica Viva
Within apps which display My Survey Screen it is then possible to enter addi-
tional code information.
Note that the F3(Prev) and F4(Next) keys appear when the focus is placed on
the Code information prompt. This allows to scroll through previously entered
additional code information – this may be useful if the same additional code in-

SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS – DATA EXPORT IMPROVEMENTS
Extended DXF export The export of DXF data has been improved by extending the information pro-
vided within the Labels page tab of its Configuration panel.
The layer name column of the Labels table provides additional information about
what will be exported:
• If the label is configured to not be exported then ----- is displayed
• If the label is configured to be exported to a user-defined layer then this
layer name is displayed
• If the label is configured to be exported to the same layer as the point
symbol then <Same layer as point> is displayed
• If the label is configured to be exported to a block with the point symbol
then < Block with point> is displayed
A new label type, Attribute, has been added. This label allows attribute informa-
tion stored with a point to be exported. Values of all attributes used for a point will
be exported as one label with each separate attribute separated by a comma and
space (i.e. Attrib1, Attrib2, Attrib3, etc).
Included in the configuration of this label is the check box Export attribute
names, ticking this box will cause the attribute names to be exported along side
the attribute values. Each attribute name will be exported in front of its attribute
value, with the names and values separated with a colon (:) and a space.
Leica Viva
Additionally, when editing how an individual label type is to be exported there are
new options:
• Export to: Block with point, this is available for all label types, when
configured it will export the label to the DXF file and place it in a “block”
with the point symbol and all other labels also set to Block with point.
This option can be useful when there are points close together and la-
bels are required for each point, in the past it would have been difficult
to identify which label belonged to which point symbol, now the point
and its labels can be blocked together to aid identification.
• The check box Export code descriptions, this is only available for the
label Point Code, ticking this box will cause the code description to be
exported along side any point codes which are exported. The code de-
scription will be displayed after the code and be separated from it with a
space. This option can be useful if short abbreviated code names are
used with code descriptions being used to really identify different codes.
Extensions to xml The export of LandXML data has been extended by introducing a Hexagon XML
export schema extension.
Now, the standard LandXML file format is written plus HeXML data blocks that
contains more information relating to:
• Coordinate Systems
• Points
• Survey
• Plan features
• Parcels
• Alignments
Each HeXML datablock is referenced to the corresponding block in the

LandXML file.
Software packages that support the LandXML standard will still be able to read
the exported files – plus getting more information using the published HeXML
schema.
To obtain full details about the Hexml schema, please contact your local Leica
Geosystems representative.
Export Data to Same It is now possible to export data to the same folder as where the job itself is
stored.
Leica Viva
Folder as where the
Job is Stored The advantage of this is that all files (DBX job files, image files, attached CAD
files and now the exported file) are stored in the same sub-folder.
To export data to the same folder as where the job itself is stored then choose
the option Same as job from the Folder prompt.
This option is available for all export formats (ASCII, custom, DXF, XML and
fbk/rw5)
Leica Viva
SMARTWORX VIVA SOFTWARE IMPROVEMENTS – APP SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS
Road app Auto detect slope type

It is now possible for the Road app to automatically detect if a cut or fill slope is
being staked out.
If it is wanted to use this automatic slope detection then in the Define check both
the Use cut and the Use fill check boxes and enter the appropriate slope ratio.
To define from which side of the selected hinge line to work, select the appropri-
ate setting in the Slope location list box.
If it is wanted to work as before and only stakeout a cut slope, or only stakeout a
fill slope then check only the relevant check box.
COGO Road
The new COGO Road functionality can be accessed from the Tools menu.
The Alignment info option allows one or more points to be selected from any
job and calculates the respective alignment information such as chainage, offset
and height difference values relative to the selected line.
Points can be selected from a list or graphically from the map. The results for the
Leica Viva
selected points can be seen in a list or viewed for each point individually.
The information which is shown is the same as configured for the Info page
within the Road app.
This tool could be useful for example, to calculate the location of where the last
point was previously staked, or if the design is changed the delta values of exist-
ing points could be recalculated relative to the new design.
Additional Height Offset Type

There is now an additional method to offset the position of the hinge line.
Choose the option Relative to surf grade within the Ht offset type list box in the
Define Manual Slope Task panel.
Choosing this option will retain working on the same surface grade as the original
design – but with the grade being offset. For example this could be used to widen
a road crown.
a) Hinge point of manual slope

b) Defined hinge offset (in this case negative)
c) Selected surface grade for hinge height calculation
d) Selected hinge reference
Stake average tangent direction

This new functionality allows the “averaged tangent direction” around a corner to
be staked.
Imagine an alignment is being staked and the alignment contains a “corner”.
Leica Viva
(Maybe a building is being staked and the “alignment corner” is the corner of the
building).
The task is to place 3 pegs to define this corner – all at a 1m offset from the cor-
ner.
When working with offsets in the following methods: line, local line, manual slope
and local manual slope and they have also checked the Work with non per-
pendicular offsets, then they can now stake the average tangent direction when
the following message box appears.
As the chainage is incremented using the F4(Ch-) or F5(Ch+) then when the line
changes direction (at the tangent point) then as before, the user is asked to stake
the tangent point (at the position shown by the peg in the diagram above).
If F6(Yes) is pressed, then the user is then asked to choose between staking the
offset relative to the previous line, the next line, or (new within SmartWorx Viva
v4.00) the average.
Leica Viva
When located at the tangent point the average is calculated based on the previ-
ous line and next line direction. The stake distance from the TP is the offset
value defined.
Extend lines
It is now possible to continue working along any line in a job where the design
line has actually ended. Previously, it was only possible to continue working
along the extended centreline.
Now any selected line is simply extended as a straight based on the end/start
direction of the line.
Once measuring outside of the line a message box will appear. Within the mes-
sage it is possible to choose to extend the line in one of the following ways
- horizontally only
- vertically only
- horizontally and vertically
- not at all
Square slope distance information

The “square slope distance” is additional information which can be configured to
be displayed and/or exported within the report sheet.
The square slope distance can be seen in the diagram above.
Leica Viva
Hide advanced slope stake methods
It is now possible to hide the slope stakeout methods to be displayed and view
only the methods which are likely to be used.
Access this panel by pressing F3(Types) in the Slope Stakeout Settings panel.
Rail app Chainage calculation method

The new variable Chainage calculation method is available in the Format Man-
ager of LGO. This allows the user to see in a report if the chainage was calcu-
lated directly or indirectly to the chainage centerline.
Tunnel app Scan tunnel profiles much faster

When using Scan profile method in Tunnel Check, it is now possible to meas-
ure points in a shorter time by setting the Measure mode to Continuous.
Setting the Measure mode to Single optimises accuracy (this was previously the
only mode for scanning). Changing the Measure mode to Continuous optimises
speed.
Alignment Editor app Import rail alignment from a rail job. Previously it was only possible to import a
line from a survey, road or road (GSI) job.
Import of Alignment Reduced time to import data

data The time taken to import alignments to a Road or Rail job has been reduced.
Selection of lines to import

The new Map page allows selecting one or multiple lines from the original design
data for import more efficiently.
Leica Viva
The lines can be individually selected by tapping on the line, or using the new
“window select” toolbar button (see the Tap Map and extensions to pop-up
menus feature described earlier)
Renaming of lines during import

It is now possible to rename the lines being imported. This allows the lines being
imported to be given a more meaningful name.
This can be done in the Lines page tab using the Prop.. button
It can also be done in the Map page tab by tapping on the line to select it, and
then tap and hold to activate the pop-up menu.
Leica Viva
The option Properties… can then be selected from the menu.
Note, this is not possible when importing lines from a LandXML file.
