I can add if I do simple distance and direction, however the add button is grayed out when I try to use the tangent curve option. The direction units and direction type I have already checked to see. This was working last week, and now it is not. Any help is appreciated. </P><P><BR />Bradley</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 10 Jun 2015 20:10:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/cogo-traverse-tool-issues/m-p/17645#M105 BradleyFarley1 2015-06-10T20:10:09Z Re: COGO Traverse tool issues https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/cogo-traverse-tool-issues/m-p/17646#M106 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you able to provide a screenshot of the traverse window?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 11 Jun 2015 02:02:26 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/cogo-traverse-tool-issues/m-p/17646#M106 Scott_Harris 2015-06-11T02:02:26Z Re: COGO Traverse tool issues https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/cogo-traverse-tool-issues/m-p/17647#M107 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><IMG alt="Traverse_Issues.JPG" class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/108845_Traverse_Issues.JPG" style="width: 620px; height: 368px;" /></P><P>Thanks for the reply, This is the traverse window, the mapper who was doing this last week said she was able to add the numbers, but we tried yesterday and it would not let her add it in. The next image is it showing that we can add a distance direction since the add button is not grayed out on it. </P><P></P><P><IMG alt="distance_direction.JPG" class="image-2 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/108846_distance_direction.JPG" style="width: 620px; height: 433px;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 11 Jun 2015 12:19:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/cogo-traverse-tool-issues/m-p/17647#M107 BradleyFarley1 2015-06-11T12:19:02Z Re: COGO Traverse tool issues https://community.esri.com/t5/state-local-government-questions/cogo-traverse-tool-issues/m-p/17648#M108 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Regarding the issue with Tangent curves, I agree with Frank's answer below.
