Loading Traverse file into Cogo

DavidStafford — Fri, 07 Oct 2016 16:35:25 GMT

I have been able to load all my shots from a survey but a few of them are just not working.

This is the text:

"Thence South 12 degree 40' 15" West 247.42 feet to a point of curve;

Thence along a 400 foot radius curve to the left, the center of which bears North 76 degrees 32' 24 " East, having a central angle of 2 degrees 04' 10" and an arc length of 14.45 feet to a point of reverse curve;

Thence along a 1665.00 foot radius curve to the right, having a central angle of 4 degrees 27' 44" and an arc length of 129.67 feet."

I was trying this and it is not working

DD S12-40-15W 247.42
TC D 02-04-10 A 14.45 R 400.00 L
TC D 04-27-44 A 129.67 R 1665.00 R

I feel like some place in need to use the bears North 76 degrees ...... And the other comment of reverse curve maybe another issue.

If someone has a better format for the text so I can load the survey that would be helpful.

Thanks

Dave

Hi David,

What software are you using?

Have you had a look at this for loading a traverse?

Also, this might be more helpful with how to format the traverse:

I am using these helps I guess I wonder how to enter the NC without the cord length as that when I used these the closure is very bad.

ArcMap Traverse TXT files are supported in ArcGIS Pro. I believe since version 2.6.
