The Emlid Flow 12.1 release brings enhancements to the Line stakeout tool and CAD drawings support to speed up and make your fieldwork more flexible.
Line stakeout modes: choose to stake out the entire line or its segments
We’ve redesigned the Line stakeout tool in Emlid Flow to give you more flexibility when staking out long alignments, such as road centerlines, pipeline routes, and utility corridors. Here’s a breakdown of modes:
Use the reinvented Along line mode to stake out an entire line and see the total distance from the start of the line to your current position—not just the segment you’re on.
…although I notice that arcs/arc’d polylines become smoothed polylines with very dense vertices so I guess there wouldn’t really be a radius point until the Engineers figure out how to maintain and identify the shape.
Interesting. With this update the pain of staking out a radius is somewhat gone if the points are dense enough.
Also according to Kartverket (Norwegian cartography), Land registry management. They advice not to register radius because the risk of getting error during management or transformation between datum is too high.
They prefer straight lines but also with minimum amount of points
You’re right that arcs and curves will be imported as polylines. Arcs aren’t currently supported, but we’re keeping that in mind. I’ve passed along your feedback!
