2.4.5Modes of Collection
When a line or area feature is selected, the attribution screen will display the current mode of collection (i.e. stream or node.) The last selected mode becomes the default by being stored in the user’s recent value file.

2 Node Mode or noding is the manual collection of nodes or “vertices.” Like points, nodes can be collected using the autostop which can be found in Data Collection\Quality Control settings in the Setup menu.
3 Streaming is the automatic collection of nodes (i.e. vertices) based on time or distance (length between nodes.) Additionally, streaming criteria can be based on the horizontal quality defined in 8 Setup, 1 Config Sets, select the proper configuration setting, select Data Collection and Quality Control in the Setup configuration.
Streaming options can be selected from the attribution\ collection screen via the context menu.
4 Line Offsets allow the user to enter linear offsets, either left, right or in both directions with different values. When in node mode, the offset selection will become a submenu offering all methods of point collection for individual nodes.
The 8 More selection allows the user to Paste from Clipboard, as well as Append or Prepend an existing line.
Paste from Clipboard allows multiple features to share common nodes. In order to paste a node, it must first be
3 Copied to Clipboard in Data Management. (See 3.2.4.2 "Copying and Pasting Nodes")
Remember: Point features cannot be created with pasted node data in Data Collection. However, points already collected can have their node replaced with the 2 Paste from Clipboard function, allowing multiple point features to share a common node.
