Spaces in descriptions not allowed??? Why???

Postby John \"Da Ringer\" » Thu Jun 09, 2005 2:13 am

Hi,

I am using SurvCE 1.50.08.

When I store a point and type in a description that contains a space(s), the
next time I store a point the drop down box shows the description is
truncated after the first space.

Example:
I store a shot in RTK mode and give the point a description of "CL ROAD".
The next time I store a shot the description in the drop down box is
truncated to "CL".

Could you fellas fix this soon?

Thanks

John

John,


I sent you an email with an attempt at an explanation for this. We do
allow spaces in the description. The drop down list is more for point
codes. We use spaces to indicate multiple codes so that when using
field to finish you can specify more than one code for a point. This
allows for drawing multiple lines to one point.

Hi Barkley,

I received the e-mail and I appreciate the response.

I have a suggestion.........

Give the user the option to display either descriptions OR field codes in
the "drop down" box.

If spaces are allowed (which they are) in the description, then it should
not matter if the drop down box allows the use of spaces PROVIDED the
software knows whether it is a description or a field code.

There are many instances when being able to scroll thru the descriptions and
hit enter may just save a life. There have been many times that I am
locating points in a busy street, dodging traffic, where the ability to
scroll thru descriptions has probably saved my life (TDS Survey Pro).

Thanks
