Structural measurements should usually be added from the Stations editform so that they can be related to a particular station, but you can also add unrelated measurements if you wish. Make the Structure shapefile editable through the Layers button on the main toolbar and plot points with the Point drawing tool.

Type combobox – Structural measurement point types. You may enter values not on the drop-down list—but don't expect them to plot properly. Choices are stored in StrucTypes_0.5.dbf. Not editable on-the-fly. Adding new values to StrucTypes_0.5.dbf may require that the symbolization defined in Structure_0.5.apl be altered to plot appropriate symbols.

Strike/Trend editbox – Enter a value between 0 and 360.

Dip/Plunge editbox – Enter a value between 0 and 90.

Poor observation checkbox – Check if true. Stores ‘T’ or ‘F’ in the QUALITY field in the attribute table.

Date editbox – Reports the date and time of measurement. Note that this value is only added from this editform. Adding a measurement from the Stations editform Structure page adds a related station ID to the structure attribute table which contains a date/time string in it.

Tap OK to plot the point.

Structural measurements are plotted with the same XY coordinates as the station they are related to and will be moved automatically if the station is moved.
