23. Leica MobileMatriX Feature Editing - Insertion Line Technology
Reality
GIS
1. Place Insertion Line on feature
2. Survey first intersection point
3. Survey next intersection point
4. Survey next intersection point
A MobileMatriX construct which aids the surveyor by marking an as-yet un-surveyed segment of a Survey Feature. An Insertion Line has an Insertion Point at either end, one of which is the active Insertion Point. Insertion Lines are only used with Line and Polygon -based Survey Features. A Survey Feature starts off with a single, active, Insertion Line. When a Survey Feature is Finished all Insertion Lines on it are removed.
If a surveyor finds that there is a component of a Survey Feature that may not be surveyed then a Skip add may be performed, which will leave behind an Insertion Line on the unsurveyable component. The Place New Insertion Line tool can be used to place a new Insertion Line on the segment of any Survey Feature or Arc feature.
Insertion Line Selection
The Edit tool in MobileMatriX allows the selection of any Feature in the map. The properties of this Feature may then be inspecting using the Attributes window. The Attributes dialog is displayed using the Attributes button ( ) on the Editor toolbar. The Edit attributes command can also be used to perform this action. This allows a number of functions to be performed on the selected Insertion Line and it's related Survey Feature, complimenting many of the commands on the Survey Features menu. When inspecting a selected Insertion Line the Attributes window display is as shown below.
Insertion Line Deletion
When an Insertion Line is selected, it may be deleted by hitting the <delete> key or using the Delete command from the MobileMatriX Edit menu:
If this is the only Insertion Line on the related Survey Feature then this is equivalent to Finishing the Survey Feature using the Finish command on the Survey Features Menu.
If there are more than one Insertion Lines on the related Survey Feature then this is equivalent to Finishing the Insertion Line using the Remove Insertion Line command on the Survey Features menu.
Place new Insertion Line
Activates a tool to create a new Insertion Line and place it on a line segment of an existing feature. If this feature is already in use as a Survey Feature then the Insertion Line will simply be added to that Survey Feature. If the feature is not in use as a Survey Feature then it will become one, with a default name or with any pre-existing name found in a "Name" field of that Feature. It is also possible to create a new Insertion Line on an existing Survey Feature using the New Insertion Line command.
This button is found on the MobileMatriX toolbar.

32. Leica MobileMatriX Survey Data Synchronization
NEW

33. Leica MobileMatriX Synchronisation of survey data
NEW
Leica MobileMatriX supports a new and improved workflow for surveyors working in the GIS industry.
Leica MobileMatriX supports disconnected editing of features and survey data for multiple users. That means features and survey data can be checked out from an ArcSDE GDB to a Personal GDB and edited while you are disconnected.
Later the new and edited features and survey data can be checked in and reconciled with the master database.
Benefits
Maintain and improve the quality of features over time - accuracy is maintained by the surveyor (the GIS operator does not need to know how to maintain accuracy)
Information, if a feature is mapped at the right location
The survey data is synchronized while the features are (one process) and archived in the enterprise database
The database administrator or supervisor will be able to verify the field crew‘s measurements
Information about who measured what, with what equipment and at which time
