Thanks Josh
We can improve the existing traverse to include features that are missed. If I understand correctly the requirement is to have explicit curve definition dropdown menus instead of using the shortcuts like 90d for delta angle of 90 degrees or 'rb' for radial bearing.
Please confirm
Amir,
Thanks for getting back.
The user that requested that functionality was wanting to have an option to do explicit curves as you understood it.
Thanks.
I'm partial to the Parcel Fabric entry grid in ArcMap myself. With that, I could stay on the 10-key for a whole subdivision, other than having to pan the map or zoom in and out. With Pro's version I have to click on the start and end point for every lot line - where before I could enter point numbers as the beginning point and if it was close enough the end point was automatically populated. I realize that would be difficult to add that to the current interface, so this may be a pipe dream. I was much faster getting a subdivision done in ArcMap's parcel fabric entry grid than Pro's.
Just about every person I talk to at conferences or GIS groups that works with Traverses says they wish they could use the ArcMap Traverse tool in Pro instead of the redesigned Pro tool. In 2-3 years I cannot remember a single peer or coworker say they prefer the Pro version, especially for curves.
@JasonFullerYou are able to specify the curve parameters in the drop down at the top of each field, but you have to do it before entering any data. I usually select Chord in the Direction field, and I use the delta in the final field. I guess you are locked in on the radius, but I can't remember the last time a description didn't use the radius. And as far as the ArcMap traverse tool goes, the Pro traverse entry grid is much faster than the ArcMap traverse tool. I hate having to change between direction-distance, curve and tangent curve it slows everything down.
