Reading Meets and Bounds for the Traverse Tool Question

KMuthRC

I have been asked to confirm the accuracy of some Meets and Bounds, and while the https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/enter-a-traverse.htm page is useful, (im pretty sure i figured out tangent vs non tangent curves) im still struggling with how to interpret certain lines. (particularly the ones in green) and how to correctly enter them in the traverse tool.

Meets and Bounds

I think the green Instructions are a tangent curve continuing with the same radius as the previous curve, but im not sure.

Traverse Tool

and clarification and help is greatly appreciated.

this is one of those metes and bounds descriptions that i hate, it's got the curve parameters broken up between paragraphs. see below, the orange box is one set of parameters and the green box is the second.

That is very obnoxious -.-,

but does this mean that since im using the Chord bearing and distance for the traverse tool, that i can just ignore the arc distance part?

anna_garrett

my organization uses the chord bearing and arc distance for curve entry - if you have someone to ask for clarification in your organization I would advise you to ask.

KMuthRC

Im our only person unfortunately, thank you for the help though!

anna_garrett

no problem, I personally prefer the arc length for dimensions anyway 🙂

Hello

The curve paraments are on separate paragraphs.

Yes, you can ignore the arc distance. You can use the chord length or the curve length, the result will be the same.

I often find Delta Angles, and Central Angles to be a more precise way of entering in these measurements; with a type of double check built in because the subsequent label shows the Arc Length.
