Abstract

According to the invention, the construction measuring device has a functionality for modifying the orientation of the sighting unit in a manually controllable manner, within the framework of which the orientation of the sighting unit is dynamically modified by the first or second rotary drive, according to a current direction and a current distance from a defined central anchor display point to a currently marked display point. The respective current direction defines an orientation modifying direction and the respective current distance defines an orientation modifying speed for changing the orientation of the sighting unit.
