“We’ve created several powerful new productivity tools and wanted to make these immediately available to STAR*NET users,” said Brian Sloman, desktop products manager at MicroSurvey. Improved Leica DBX Support, including the ability to export all set observations or average set observations for any sets collected with either the Sets of Angles or Traverse applications, export stakeout observations as measurement records, and export check shot deltas as comment records.Improved Carlson SurvCE Support, including the ability to average shots in multiple sets, convert resection observations as direction sets, and import point descriptions with each vector.Improved MicroSurvey FieldGenius Support, including the ability to convert COGO measurements from raw files as bearing measurement records and to read GPS offset measurements from raw files.

Direct access to all conversion utilities through the Import menu, with help buttons for guidance.Improved file references for easy access to corresponding data files directly from the listing.A new Data File Monitor that checks for any changes made by an external program to a loaded data file and prompts users to reload files from disk if needed.A new Online Updater that makes it easier for users to stay current with the latest STAR*NET updates.Support for Google Maps and Google Earth allows users to view and export network stations and connections in popular mapping formats, and a new Level Loop Tolerance Check allows users to instantly verify the vertical closure of level loops or traverses. PRISM inline command lets users apply a correction for measurements that were collected with an incorrect prism offset setting. Directional linetypes indicate the direction and number of observations between each network station, and intuitive mouse controls allow for smooth zooming and panning in the network plot.Īdditionally, a new. All network plot display options are now customizable in an intuitive grid view that allows users to control the visibility, color, linetype and size of each network element to graphically differentiate conventional, GPS, and leveling observations. Several highly requested features have been added based on feedback received directly from STAR*NET users. With a multitude of new and improved tools, the software makes least squares adjustment even faster and easier, MicroSurvey Software said. MicroSurvey Software released STAR*NET 8.1, a new version of the least squares network adjustment suite.
