Update COGO

Would be nice to have the Distance Factor exposed into Update COGO window (pane) and a check box if the user wants to keep the Distance Factor or he wants this to be one.

Hi Marius,

If you are already aware of the functionality described in 1 and 2 below, then please provide some more information on why this is needed in addition to the existing functionality.

1. the Ground to Grid Scale factor is already displayed in the Heads Up display in the map.

When the scale factor is displayed it means the factor is turned on as part of the ground to grid correction, and will be applied to any tool that you are using at that moment that updates/creates Distance, Radius, ArcLength COGO attributes. Update COGO is just one of the tools that uses the Scale Factor. (and Direction Offset correction, if it's checked on as well)

If you want to use a scale factor of 1, it's the same as turning off the ground to grid.

2. There is a convenient way to turn OFF/ON ground to grid corrections without needing to go to the Edit tab: you can turn it off/on using the button on the bottom left tray of the map.

-Tim

Sorry I didn't see out of box.

I just didn't notice the Distance factor is shown in the upper right corner of the map window.

Re: Update COGO - Status changed to: Already Offered

Marking as 'Already Offered' as the Scale correction (and rotation) are already exposed in their dedicated HUD (Head Over Display) on the map regardless of the tool being used.

See @TimHodson reply for more details.
