Traverse File "Breaks" on Import???

Question

Hello everyone, praying someone has a solution to my problem.

I'm running a very long legal description with the ArcGIS Pro Traverse tool. The description consists of metes and bounds, a handful of curves, etc.

I run the description, everything looks fantastic (even though it does not completely close), I export the Traverse file....

And anytime I import the traverse file it's like it's broken, and I have to scour the description again to fix it. A handful of my values change, everything loses it's shape.

Has anyone experienced this before? I'm hoping I'm being specific enough....

Running ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3

Thank you!

Hello @NabilDroby1

Thanks for the post.  This was a bug that happened at 3.1.  We did fix that in the first patch we released for that version, 3.1.1.   Please download that and let me know if that fixes the problem.

I'm not using parcel fabric, but I'm having the same problem with exporting the cogo in the traverse tool. The bearings are entered correctly, but when saving to text file by "Export ArcMap Traverse File", most of the bearings change to N90E. I've checked the coordinate system and all the units and everything appears good but the saved file is still changing the bearings! Is there something wrong in my settings? My Pro version is 3.1

Hello @T_R ,

Would you be able to send me the courses you are entering?  You can also just send me a picture of the traverse pane after you've entered all your courses.  Then could you also send me the traverse file that you've saved?  I tried testing your steps on 3.0.3 and I am unable to reproduce what you are seeing.

Thanks!
