Auto Element Selection

Set this option to On to make the next point/ line to stake be selected automatically according to the settings.

• Next Point from list: the next point from the Stakeout Point List is selected automatically.

• Nearest Point (or line): the point or line in
the Map view that is closest to the current position is selected automatically after the previous point/line was staked out.

• Nearest Point from list: the point from the Stakeout Point List that is closest to the current position is selected automatically after the previous point was staked out.

• Nearest Line in direction: only works for vehicle/dozer/scraper and tractor configurations. The line closest to the current position is selected automatically. Lines on the
left or the right-hand side in direction of driving can be excluded by setting the Blade Ref. Point to either "Left" or "Right" in the Foreman Settings.
