I'm attempting to complete this legal description below and not sure how to go about utilizing the Traverse tool to complete these central angle curves?
The description is giving you a lot of details about these curves, but I am not sure you need to use all of them.
To take one of them as an example, look at:
A NON-TANGENT CURVE CONCAVE TO THE NORTHEASTHAVING A RADIUS OF 2325 FEETTHE LONG CORD OF SAID CURVE BEARS NORTH 72-00-38 WEST 1737.58 FEETTHENSE NORTHWESTERLY 1780.79 FEET ALONG THE ARC OF SAID CURVEAND ALONG SAID SOUTHERLY BOUNDARY THROUGH A CENTRAL ANGLE OF 43-53-05
What you've got here are
All you need in your Traverse are a few of these, and your curve can map properly. I prefer arc length and chord bearing when I have them. In the Traverse table, you'd enter the following:
You can click on the column headers in the traverse tool to change what kinds of values it's looking for. For instance, you could change the Arc Length column to look for Delta Angle instead, and enter the delta angle values. You can configure whether or not it assumes tangent bearing or chord bearing, too. (Putting "cb" after a bearing overrides the default and tells the traverse to treat it as a chord bearing instead).
Excellent! One more favor. Can you provide examples for next 2 curves in that legal. I would like a few examples to reference if possible. I really appreciate your time on this. You've been a HUGE help.
That's quadrant bearing shorthand.
1 = NE
2 = SE
3 = SW
4 = NW
When you're entering data into a field in Quadrant Bearing format, Pro can interpret a variety of entries. As long as the final character is a single digit from 1 to 4, it will assume you are referring to a quadrant.
These aren't real angles, but here's an illustration:
Thank you. What does the -4 before cb indicate?
