Kinda just a random question, but i use a lot of lisp routines for the most basic tasks and made another one (with AI) just last week.

It places an block in the center of 2 other blocks and deletes the 2 selected ones. This comes forth from a survey where lightposts have been measured on 2 sides, so the post is actually in the middle.

I could probably have found something like this online, but now i have made one that also has some custom options, like selecting all the surveyed points and only apply the 'place block in center' on survey points that are within 1 feet (can be changed) of each other and have a specific label.

Anyway, i like to make more tools more often, but as the problem at hand in that one instance was probably 5 minutes of work if i fixed it by hand, it took half an hour to create the lisp.
So pretty much i wasted 25+ minutes on that job. But will save myself 4,9 minutes on any future jobs.

So i wonder, what tools, even if it's not just a lisp, would you like to create but never find the time to do so?

Hi,

My Trimble TCS 7 has 4 batteries, workes fines for years and since a couple of week i seem to have some charging troubles.

I marked the first battery that showed this red LED when charging in the dedicated battery charger (model 121343 as stated on the back). And it seemed this also showed up as faulty in the TCS 7 itself by displaying a constant red LED in the top left of the bezel.

The problem i have is that this error can also occure during work, and when the faulty battery is in the second slot and drained the first one, the device instantly shuts down, although it first showed up as working.
This made a 'main project' with about 50 sub projects instantly corrupt. But transfering it to a new main project kinda fixed most of them.

Anyway, now this problem also showed up at a second battery within weeks of each other.
Sometimes they work fine, sometimes they charge ok, but end up in a RED led on the charger or TCS 7.

Before i want to call in support, is this perhaps a known issue?

2 faulty batteries is pretty bad, as it limits my field time to about 4-6 hours maximum if i can't trust them to work when needed.

Hi,

I'm not very known with this feature, but i feel like this could be done very easy..

I have a boundary pline, made an featureline of it and used the elevation editor to insert know elevations. Points in between still have the '0.000m' elevation.

So then i select the first and next elevation, click the 'Flatten grade or elevation' button and it autofills the elevations in between.

But i got like a dozen of inserted elevations, and if i select the first and last entry, it will only grade from that first and last elevation and ignores/overwrites all the elevations in between.

Isn't there a setting that will automaticly grade between the know elevations? Or at least uses all the set elevations between the first and last point?

Now i go from 1 elevation to the next and use the 'Constant Grade' option, but if i got like 50 inserted elevations, i have to do this 50 times to fill in the blanks...
