MicroSurvey System Defaults

• MicroSurvey System Defaults control the way the MicroSurvey side of your program operates.

• They are applied every time you create a new job.

• They are saved with the job so that any changes you make will be retained for the job, but these changes won't be applied when you start another job.

They consist of:

"General Configuration Options" or "MicroSurvey Job Defaults" in the MsTools Menu

"Preferences" or "MicroSurvey System Toggles" in the MsTools Menu

"Hot Toggles!"

Hot Toggles are the most frequently used preferences, placed for easy access.

"Labeling Defaults" in the MsAnnotate Menu

These control how MicroSurvey "Smart" labels are applied.

Update your drawing after changing these settings by opening MsPoints | Rescale complete Drawing.
