README.NOW CC-SURVeyor 4, Shareware Version April 1, 1990
===========================================================================
CC-SURVeyor 4 is a geometric design program for civil engineers and land
surveyors. It includes traverse, inverse, sideshot, bearing and distance
intersection routines, area, inscribe curve, rotate/translate/scale, lot
summary, radial stakeout, predetermined area, curve solutions, triangle
solutions, and perpendicular and parallel offsets. A set of topo utilities
allows reduction of field notes for EDM or total station topo, or stadia
topo. Road design features include vertical curves and grades and
intersections, cul-de-sacs, and knuckles. Screen graphics include
assignment of points to user-named layers, which may also have different
linetypes, and will screen plot in different colors. EGA or VGA graphics
is required. CC-SURVeyor 4 will plot on Houston Instruments or Hewlett-
Packard pen plotters, and on Epson compatible 9 or 24 pin printers. It
includes plot rotation without having to rotate the coordinate base,
graphic plot preview, and pause for pen change by layer.
This shareware version only includes the COGO and PLOT modules; field
traverse with compass rule adjustment and contouring are separate modules
that are available to registered users. Another difference is that this
version will only allow 99 points per file, and the registered version
allows 4000 points per file.
The following files are included with this package:
README.NOW This file you are now reading
SAMPLFIL.EXE A self-extracting ZIP file that contains sample data
files for CC-SURVeyor 4:
SAMPLE.CCC coordinate file
SAMPLE.LAY layer assignment file
SAMPLE.NET interpolation net
SAMPLE.TIC contour tics and lines
PROGRAMS.EXE A self-extracting ZIP file that contains the program
files:
COGO.EXE The CC-COGO program module
PLOT.EXE The CC-PLOT program module
CC-COGO.TXT Documentation for CC-COGO
CC-PLOT.TXT Documentation for CC-PLOT
To extract the self-extracting files, there are two methods:
A. If you have DOS 3.0 or later, you can extract them directly from the
diskette to a subdirectory on your hard disk, as follows:
1. Create a subdirectory on your hard disk named "CC-SURV" (this
name is used as an example, you may use any name you wish).
2. Put the diskette containing the self-extracting file in your
diskette drive. For this example we will assume that is drive A.
3. Log onto your hard disk, in the above subdirectory you just
created, i.e. C:\CC-SURV>
4. Type the diskette drive name followed by the name of the self-
extracting file you wish to extract, i.e.
C:\CC-SURV>A:PROGRAMS and press <Enter>.
5. The programs will extract from the diskette file and be placed on
your hard disk in the subdirectory you are logged onto.
B. If you have an earlier version of DOS, you will have to copy the self-
extracting files onto your hard disk first, to the subdirectory of
your choice, as follows:
1. Create a subdirectory on your hard disk named "CC-SURV" (this
name is used as an example, you may use any name you wish).
2. Copy the files PROGRAMS.EXE and SAMPLFIL.EXE from the diskette to
this subdirectory.
3. Log into this subdirectory and type the name of the self-
extracting file you wish to extract, i.e.
C:\CC-SURV>PROGRAMS and press <Enter>.
4. The programs will extract from the diskette file into this
subdirectory. You may erase the self-extracting files
PROGRAM.EXE and SAMPLFIL.EXE after the files are extracted, to
save hard disk space. DON'T ERASE THEM FROM THE DISKETTE, THAT
IS YOUR ARCHIVE COPY.
To print out the manuals to a printer connected to your parallel port,
insert the diskette with the documentation in your diskette drive, log onto
that drive, i.e. A:\>
Type "COPY CC-COGO.TXT PRN" and press <Enter>
This manual is 52 pages long.
Type "COPY CC-PLOT.TXT PRN" and press <Enter>
This manual is 32 pages long.
You are free to use, copy and distribute this program, as long as copies
contain all the files herein, and no more than a $20 disk copy fee is
charged. If you like CC-SURVeyor 4 and wish to register it, the
registration fee will entitle you to:
1. New diskettes with the 4000 point version and printed, illustrated
manuals.
2. Full support by mail.
3. Subscription to CCNEWS, a newsletter with tips for using COGO and CAD
and news regarding CC-SURVeyor upgrades.
4. The right to purchase other modules of the CC-SURVeyor 4 family,
including CC-BALance and CC-CONTour.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND INSTALLATION
------------------------------------
These programs were developed and compiled with MicroSoft BASIC 7.0 and
should be compatible with any IBM PC or AT compatible using MS-DOS 2.11 or
later. An 80x87 coprocessor is used if available but is not required. EGA
or VGA graphics is required for screen plotting. The mouse is supported
for menu and dialog box choices.
Complete installation and configuration instructions are included in the
manuals, and basically consists of copying the files to your hard disk
(which you have done by now) and setting some configuration options from
the SETTINGS submenu within the programs.
THE SAMPLE FILES
----------------
SAMPLE.CCC, SAMPLE.LAY, SAMPLE.NET and SAMPLE.TIC are sample job files of a
small subdivision that demonstrate the advantages of arranging points by
layer. Start CC-COGO and open the SAMPLE.CCC file. Then go to the
SETTINGS submenu and choose "Layer display". You will see the list of
layers that have been used for arranging this job. Press <F10> to screen
plot, and notice the various colors that lot lines, the street, an
easement, etc. plot in. Press a key to return to the "Layer display" menu,
and toggle some of the check marks off. Press <F10> again to see the
screen plot without those layers. This "layer" arrangement is used in many
routines to control processing of groups of points; for example:
1) export points by layer,
2) send points to CAD by layer,
3) select points for plotting by layer,
4) pause for pen change by layer,
5) assign different linetypes to each layer for screen and pen
plotting
and 6) shut off unwanted layers to speed up screen plotting and help read
point numbers in crowded situations.
Start CC-PLOT and open the above files, and using View Plot will also show
you the contour net, contour tics, and contour lines. The screen probably
appears pretty busy right now, so go to the SETTINGS "Layer display"
routine and toggle off the TOPO, NET, and CONTIC layers, and View Plot
again. Now the screen should be a little neater, and the contour lines
show in addition to the other data viewed from within CC-COGO. The contour
net, tics, and lines were created in the CC-CONTour module, which is
available to registered users.
This layer management system is one of the beneficial features of CAD
software, and using it early in a project will pay dividends as the project
gets more complex. Have fun!
THE REST OF THE CC-SURVEYOR 4 FAMILY OF MODULES
-----------------------------------------------
CC-BALANCE is required for field traverse, map check, angle balancing,
compass rule adjustment. Batch processing and full-screen scrolling editor
for field files and map check files. Insert/delete/edit any course.
CC-CONTOUR is required for interpolation of contours. Create and save/
recall/edit the interpolation net. Automatic interpolation of net at any
contour interval. Interactively connect interpolated tics with contour
lines. CC-PLOT is required to plot the net/tics/contours. Contour data
may be sent to CAD via DXF files, using CC-PLOT.
