Topcon Magnet Field – Stakeout Referencing Linework
Our company is currently working an airport job and I was asked to get some topo shots along the design boundary to compare to existing grade. I’m sure the answer to this is simple but the navigation in magnet is convoluted I find it hard to locate specific things I am trying to do. I am looking to get topo shots while also referencing the centerline of the taxiway we are working on so I can get shots at appropriate intervals (252+00,252+25, etc.) while also recording the cut/fill at the location of the actual topo shot. Short of doing a linework-stakeout on the CL I could not figure out how to go about this task. That didn’t work because it would reference the grade at the CL rather than my position. If anyone has any insight please let me know.

I would just import the CL polyline into the DC and then run the stake line and set interval to 25’…select the polyline and go. Been a few years since I used magnet, but we just did this a few days ago in Carlson SURVPC and we used to use the same command in magnet to stake LOD.
