Traverse and Label

Traverse and Label is also included with Survey and Cogo.

Traverse and Label allows you to draw a traverse using Bearing and Distances. You may also enter curves to the left or right (Radius and Arc length). You may also label any lines in the drawing by bearing and distance and curves by radius and arc length.

Drawing Setup

Select English or Metric units -changes the ltscale and labeling precision, changes dimscale to the scale of the drawing, it changes textsize to one tenth the drawing scale (English) and to 3mm (Metric) and it changes other dimension variables.

NOTE: You may edit dpset.lsp in the Dplabel directory if you want to change these settings. You may use notepad to edit this file.

Draw Traverse

Draw by entering bearings and distances and curves. Good for inputing an existing boundary.

Labels

You may label the bearing and distance of a line by selecting it or by picking points.
You may label a curve (radius, length) or (delta, radius, tangent, length and chord bearing & length) by selecting it or by picking points.

NOTE: LABELING WILL USE THE UNITS (ENGLISH OR METRIC) THAT IS SELECTED IN DRAWING SETUP. LABELING WILL ALSO USE THE CURRENT PRECISION SETTINGS

Label lines

Label by selecting a line
Brg dist / - Label bearing and distance on top of line.
/ Brg Dist - Label bearing and distance on bottom of line.
Brg / Dist - Label bearing on top and distance on bottom of line.
Dist / Brg - Label distance on top and bearing on bottom of line.
Dist / - Label distance on top of line.
/ Dist - Label distance on bottom of line.
Note - Label bearing and distance with a leader to a line.

Label lines (point)

Label by selecting 2 points for a line
Brg dist / - Label bearing and distance on top of line by selecting points.
/ Brg Dist - Label bearing and distance on bottom of line by selecting points.
Brg / Dist - Label bearing on top and distance on bottom of line by selecting points.
Dist / Brg - Label distance on top and bearing on bottom of line by selecting points.
Dist / - Label distance on top of line by selecting points.
/ Dist - Label distance on bottom of line by selecting points.

Label curves

Label by selecting a curve
Rad ( Len - Label radius on outside and arc length on inside of curve.
Len ( Rad - Label arc length on outside and radius on inside of curve.
Len ( - Label arc length on outside of curve.
( Len - Label arc length on inside of curve.
Note - Label Delta, Tangent, Arc length, Radius, Chord bearing and Chord distance in a note off the curve.

Label curves (point)

Label by selecting 3 points to define a curve (center start end - counterclockwise)
Rad ( Len - Label radius on outside and arc length on inside of curve.
Len ( Rad - Label arc length on outside and radius on inside of curve.
Len ( - Label arc length on outside of curve.
( Len - Label arc length on inside of curve.

Label areas

Label areas in square feet and acres (or Hectares) by selecting a closed polyline.
