SurvCE feature Request

Postby John Roberson » Sun Oct 02, 2005 5:59 am

Hi Carlson,

When I store a point with Carlson SurveCE, a drop-down box appears the
allows me to choose the description.

If I type a description that contains a space, the description is truncated
after the space the next time I try to choose that description.

You have responded before that this is done because the drop down
descriptions are intended for field codes.

Why then do you allow the user to choose "Use Code Table for Descriptions"
under "Job Settings" ----> "Options".

Would it really be that difficult to allow spaces in the drop-down box if
the user chooses to not use "Code Table for Descriptions".

When I bought my Ranger, it already had a very early version of SurvCE
installed on it. I was pleasently suprised to see that spaces are allowed in
the drop-down box of that ealy version.

You said to me once that someone might try to "field to finish" a job with
spaces and get a garbled mess in their CAD drawing.

I think you should understand that some people (me) really do need to have
spaces in the drop-down box.

How about allowing this????

I agree with this request. We do not use codes in our work and we have a
lot of ditto descriptions. Using the drop down box with spaces would
speed up our field work. Another feature that I would like to see added
would be to increase the number of allowable characters in the description
from 32 to 125.

Thanks,
Russ
