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.

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

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?

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.

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