What format does the Cogo reader require?

MDB_GIS — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:03:06 GMT

For whatever reason it will not read the following

" traveling thence along the arc of a curve an arc distance of 40.73 feet, said
arc having a radius of 317.07 feet and being subtended by a chord bearing South 31
degrees 26 minutes 30 seconds West a distance of 40.70 feet to a point, traveling thence
along the arc of a curve an are distance of 117.82 feet, said arc having a radius of 317.07
feet and being subtended by a chord bearing South 17 degrees 06 minutes 59 seconds
West a distance of 117.15 feet to a point"

Is it unable to read curves? There doesn't appear to be away to edit it in such a way so that it gets inserted into the traverse unless I am missing something.

Hey @MDB_GIS

Here's a post with some information about the formatting of traverse:

I'm asking specifically about the new COGO reader functionality introduced in 3.5. Unfortuntely this is from 2017 and doesn't address that issue.

@MDB_GIS can you please provide the deed?

I've attached them. I ended up figuring out the problem, however. It wasn't picking up the curves because the deed didn't specifically call out whether the turn was to the right or to the left. I went and manually added that information and it began detecting the measurements. It would be nice to get some kind of documentation on what this tool expects in terms of formatting. I've had it fail to recognize several other measurements before due to comma placement. It works great as long as the deed is perfectly formatted. Sadly, a lot of ours are not. Thanks for the reply!
