One dxf file: The job file in itself. Each newly logged
entity will be saved to that file, whatever the layer from
which it proceeds.
One <job_name>.prj file: Contains the description of
the coordinate system used in the job
One <job_name>.dfs file: Lists the names of the layers
attached to the job as well as the attributes defined in
these layers.
<job_name>_<layer_name>.drw files (one or more):
Each of these drw files contains the full definition of a
layer (visual representation and attributes).
Both Map and Dxf jobs may also use *.mnd and *.mnu
files. These are auxiliary files containing mandatory
attributes (*.mnd) and menu strings for menu-type
attributes (*.mnu).
• Location: Choose the storage medium where to store
the job file. You can choose between “Main memory”
or “Storage Card” (if there is an SD or micro-SD card
inserted in the receiver). With MobileMapper 100, a
third option is available (physically located in the
resident memory and named “Storage Disk”).
3. Tap Save to create the job file. What you then get on the
screen depends on the format (map or dxf) you chose for
the job. See Creating New Layers on page 13 for more
details.
It’s only after you are finished with the layers to be
incorporated in your job and you have defined a coordinate
system for the job that you will see the name of the job in
the upper-left corner of the map screen,
Subsequent Uses
of MobileMapper
Field
The next time you launch MobileMapper Field, the program
will open the job you last opened in the previous session.
If this job is no longer present in the receiver, then a message
will warn you that the program has been unable to open the
job. You will then have to create a new job (see also Using
Templates To Create New Jobs on page 11) or open an
existing one.
Opening an
Existing Job
•Tap Menu>Job>Open.... By default, MobileMapper Field
browses all the folders in search of all the *.map jobs
stored in the receiver. A new window then opens listing all
these jobs.
