I am setting up the new Data Acquisition tool in SS1, and am having issues controling the plot scale of points, cells, and line styles. I have exported my SMD to XML and am using that for a style file. Here's how the SMD file was setup:
All cells are drawn at 100 scale, so when placing a cell at 100 scale, you would use a cell scale of 1, 50 scale use 0.5, 20 scale use 0.2, etc.
In the SMD file, I have identified the Apply Creation Scale = 100 (thus scaling the cell back down to true scale 1=1, or a cell scale of 0.01)
Text for the point labels in the SMD are set to TH/TW of 2.5/2.5, again with a creation scale of 100
When processing survey using the SMD, I use a plot scale of 20, thus scaling all cells from a 0.01 to 0.20 for 20 scale, and text imports at a TH/TW of 0.5/0.5.
Now, with Data Acquisition, when I bring in survey, the cells are importing at a scale of 0.00083, and the text imports at TH/TW of 0.0021/0.0021. It appears that the Data Acquisition tool is applying the creation scale (scaling everything down by 0.01), and also scaling everything to inches (1/12). i.e. cells = (1/100)/12=0.00083, and text = (2.5/100)/12=0.002083
With all that said, can I apply a plot scale in Data Acquisition? How do I prevent Data Acq from converting to inches?
