Introduction
This chapter aims to describe how to work quickly, efficiently and accurately with WinCan VX and WinCan Map together at the same time to save time and reduce human errors. This is important for both CCTV truck operators and back-office data processors. Being fluent, accurate and dynamic with these techniques will greatly speed up the workflow and improve data quality.
Can we work on HADDMS in WinCan VX without using WinCan Map?
Yes, but the chances of making mistakes are very large when there is imported shapefile data for round tripping inside the WinCan project, so it is not recommended. However, then can be situations where there is no data to round trip because there is no drainage inventory data available on the HADDMS website for the selected area. In this case, working without Map is a good way to operate, but working with it is even better. Even without round trip data, you can still plot points and create drainage networks which ‘make sense’ on screen and help to keep a track of work that’s been completed.
For the remainder of this chapter, we will assume that the WinCan VX project already has imported data for round tripping inside, and additionally that all the project setup controls described in WinCan VX Project Setup like marking assets as ‘To be Inspected’ have been done.
