# To stake out to the alignment

1. Tap the alignment in the map or select To the alignment in the Stake field.
2. If construction offsets are required, tap and hold in the map and select Define construction offsets. Enter values in the Construction offsets field. See Construction offsets.
3. Tap Start.

4. Navigate relative to the alignment.

   A dashed green line is drawn at a right angle from your current position to the alignment. The elevation of your current position and the design elevation of the computed position are shown.

   To switch between the plan view and the cross section view, tap .

   The cross section shows your current position and the target, and is orientated in the direction of increasing station. Construction offset(s) appear as green lines. If construction offsets are specified, the smaller single circle indicates the selected position and the double circle indicates the selected position adjusted for the construction offset(s).

5. When the point is within tolerance, tap Measure to measure the point.

   When using a Trimble SX12 scanning total station in TRK mode with the laser pointer enabled, the Stakeout screen shows the Mark point softkey instead of the Measure softkey. Tap Mark point to put the instrument into STD mode. The laser pointer stops flashing and moves to position itself at the EDM location. When you tap Accept to store the point, the instrument automatically returns to TRK mode and the laser pointer resumes flashing. To remeasure and update the stakeout deltas, tap Measure after you tap Mark point and before you tap Accept. For more information, see EDM settings.

6. Tap Accept to store the point.
7. If you selected the View before storage option, the staked deltas you selected in the Stakeout options screen are shown. Tap Store.
