field to finish special symbols

[Jason Bly]

I'm looking in the book at online help, but just not seeing it.

What are the functions of the special symbols in F2F?
+ (plus)
- (minus)
* (asterisk)
/ (divide)
_ (underscore)

This is what I read. What about the last two?

+ (plus) = Close Line
- (minus) = Point on Curve
* (asterisk) = Insert Description
/ (divide) = ?
_ (underscore) = ?

And the underscore?

Why arent' they listed together in the book, instead of scattered throughout
the pages in different sections?

I have a code named OAK. I want to be able to have field crew specify tree
size and the symbol will scale up based on size. Using the default SZ and
having the crd file with a point called OAKSZ12, it will not scale up. It
keeps saying that it is undefined. If anyone can tell me how to get this to
work, please do. I actually want the size to be called for when a + symbol
appears after the code, but this don't seem to work either, even after
editing within Select Code Table.

You need a space, OAK SZ12

[Jason Bly]

OK, I got that to work, but the book says that it would take the SZ number
and multiply it by the drawing scale, but all that it seems to be doing is
making the block x,y,x scale factor the SZ number. Example, a 100 scale
drawing would make it 1200 size, but it only draws it at 12. I'm I correct
or am I doing something else wrong.

SZ12 will be draw as size 12 at any scale.
You can draw using 2 measured points, center and cover as explained on page
3-49.
Another option to draw tree diameter is as described in tutorials-lesson 3.

Thanks for the information on how the SZ command really works. I never used
the SZ command because I rarely knew what the drawing scale would be at the
time of the field work. Somebody needs to get the manual corrected!

Well, either the manual is wrong or the program is working wrong. I'm trying to get a firm answer on that. In the meantime, did you guys know that you can also use the "SZ" code to scale the symbol differently in the X and Y axis?

For example, TREE SZ1X2

....would insert the appropriate TREE symbol scaled 1 in the X axis and scaled 2 in the Y axis.

I have comfirmed that F2F is working as designed. The value following the SZ code is an absolute size, not scaled X the HZ scale. The manual *is* incorrect.

The underscore has no special meaning in F2F.
