Predetermined areas, hinge and trapezoid methods
Radial Stakeout
Curve stakeout by Deflections
Vertical curve stakeout
Set and inverse points by station-offset along a linear baseline
Set and inverse points by station-offset along a curved baseline
Bearing-bearing, bearing-distance, distance-distance intersections
Offset intersections
Offsets to a centerline
Calculate curves by centerline and radius; or tangent or degree of curve (both arc and chord methods)
Three point resections
Three point curve
Best-fit line and arc fitting
Rotate / Translate COGO points
Points adjustment routine for adjusting existing traverses
Edit and enter, list, delete, and lock COGO points
COGO results can be echoed to the printer as you work
COGO results can be selectively printed
COGO results can be copied and pasted into other programs like a word processor
Description prompting can be toggled on or off as desired
Descriptions are saved in a pull-down list as they are entered for quick access
Supports U.S. Survey feet, International feet, and Meters
Capacity of 99,999 COGO points

Data Entry

Bearing recall between COGO points
Distance recall between COGO points
Enter bearings, azimuths, or angles at anytime
Angles and distances can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided during entry
Point protection offers options to Replace, rename, use next, disable, or cancel current command
Visual point protection shows sketch of point conflict

Point Grouping

Can be used to automate all commands that work with groups or ranges of points
Point group files can contain simple lists of points as well as basic inversing instructions
Point group files can be used to manage single lots or entire subdivisions
Built-in point group editor
Easy point group troubleshooting

Import-Export

View Options

View results as text, graphics or both
Graphics display plots in real-time
Text window can be scrolled back to review previous results
Angular output is configurable to show bearings, azimuth, angle right and angle left
User definable decimal places for distances, coordinates, elevations and angles
Text and graphics are stored between sessions

Graphics

Zoom In, Zoom Out, Zoom All
Zoom Auto automatically adjusts viewing area to include new points that fall outside of view limits
Scroll bars on graphics window provide easy panning
Quick-pan performs pan with single mouse click
Quick zoom performs zoom with mouse drag event
Display point names, elevations, and descriptions
Point names, elevations and descriptions auto-scale on the screen so they can be read at any zoom scale
Draw lines and arcs
Plot graphics to scale on most Windows compatible printers
Export lines, arcs and point data to CAD packages through DXF files

User Interface

Easy-to-use "Visual" interface is provided through the use of pull-down menus, dialog boxes and icons
Context sensitive help available at all times
Speed-keys and text commands available for fast access to most commands
Printer echo, point protection and description prompts can be quickly toggled on and off with Hotkeys
Save button on toolbar provides one button save capability
RPN and Curve calculators can be launched from within ProCogo

Input Reduction - Traverse Adjustment

Enter and edit field data in Spreadsheet format
Traverse start and closing information is stored with the field data so it only has to be entered once
Field data is stored in its raw form exactly as it was entered or last edited
Angle balancing
Transit, compass rule, and Crandall adjustments
Adjust elevations
Enter and average multiple angles, distances and zenith angles
Input Reduction reports include Field Notes, Closure, and Traverse

RPN & Curve Calculator

Reverse polish notation
General trig and power functions
HMS+ and HMS-
HMS mode allows trig functions to work on HMS angles without having to convert to decimal degrees
Calculator understands distance and area units such as feet, meters, square feet, acres, hectares, etc.
Curve calculator calculates delta, radius, arc length, chord length, tangent, mid-ordinate, external, degree of curve (both arc and chord) and curve area
Calculator can be launched from within ProCogo
Calculator can be used with most other Windows programs
Calculator can be made to "stay on top" for easy access.
