# Linear Traverse Orientation

If the Traverse Type is LINEAR:

For a LINEAR traverse, the two orientation values defining the traverse (Orient 1 and Orient 2 in the Traverse Information dialog) ALWAYS correspond to the Trend and Plunge of the LINEAR traverse, so will be of the format:

000; 00 (TREND / PLUNGE of the LINEAR traverse)

NOTE!!! – this is the case even if the Traverse Orientation Format or the Global Orientation Format specifies a plane vector format (e.g. DIP/DIPDIRECTION or STRIKE/DIP) for the orientation data recorded on the LINEAR traverse. The LINEAR traverse itself is ALWAYS defined by its Trend and Plunge.
