MicroSurvey FieldGenius 2012
Select Raw Data File
This indicates the name of the raw file that is going to be used. You can select a different one by
pressing the button and either creating a new raw file or choosing the one to open.
The Encrypted option indicates whether or not this raw file is encrypted. You can only change this
option when creating a new project; once set, this option can not be undone. Encrypting the raw file
ensures that users can not accidentally or intentionally edit their raw files with a text editor or other
software.
Note:
At this time, no other applications besides FieldGenius 2007 (or newer) and Micro-
Survey CAD 2008 (or newer) can read an encrypted raw file. Previous versions of
MicroSurvey CAD, inCAD, and FieldGenius will not be able to read FieldGenius
encrypted raw files.
Modify Project Information
This option will take you directly to the Project Information screen, where you can enter notes about
the project. Please see the Project Information topic for further information.
FieldGenius Project Files
Every FieldGenius project will contain usually 7 files, but may contain more depending on what files
you've exported or copied to the directory. Typically you will see that the file names will begin with the
