The New Shot dialog allows you to insert a shot in between existing shots or at append it to end of the traverse. Several modes are available: Bear-Dist, X-Y-Z, and X-Y-Slope.
Bear-Dist
This mode allows you to enter a shot as a bearing and distance (direction and offset). The following fields are available:
Shot Type - type of shot. See Shot types for more information.
H.Angle - horizontal angle in current azimuth format. See Traverse Entry options for more information.
Slope % - vertical angle in current slope format. See Traverse Entry options for more information.
Slope Dist - slope distance.
Comment - comment.
X-Y-Z
This mode allows you to enter the end point (XYZ) of a shot. The point will be made absolute and the distance, slope and bearing is back-calculated accordingly. This entry mode is useful when working with GPS.
The following fields are available:
Shot Type - type of shot. See Shot types for more information.
Easting X - easting coordinate.
Northing Y - northing coordinate.
Elevation Z - elevation.
Comment - comment.
Notes:
- If a GPS device is connected, the Set from GPS button is enabled allowing the coordinate to be updated from the GPS.
- To use a GPS, the traverse coordinate system should be defined (see Edit | Traverse Options | Projection). - Cartesian coordinates (UTM, State Plane etc.) should be used, NOT Lat/Lon.
X-Y-Slope
This mode allows you to enter the end point (XY) of a shot and the slope. The point will be made absolute and the distance and bearing is back-calculated accordingly. This entry mode is useful when working with lower standard recreational grade GPS device where the elevation is not accurate.
The following fields are available:
Shot Type - type of shot. See Shot types for more information.
Easting X - easting coordinate.
Northing Y - northing coordinate.
Elevation Z - elevation.

Append new shot at end of traverse
This will add the new shot to the end of the traverse.
