Origin. When this check box is activated, it indicates that the station should be considered as an origin in order to automatically calculate stations and points by clicking the appropriate button. See Automatic Calculation.
Fixed. If this option is activated, the station’s coordinates will not be modified whichever calculation method used.
Projected. Activating this option indicates that the survey is not using plane coordinates, but one of the projections permitted by the application. See Survey Data command.
