Parcel drafter misclose measurement issue
Hello Friends,
I am looking at the Parcel drafter widget here https://statelocaltryit.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=3788f989438241ba8a094ad67915... . I have a question regarding misclose bearing and distance calculations. In the below screen shot I draw a polygon with listed Bearing, length and radius, although the polygon doesn't appear to be close, misclose distance and bearing is displayed as 0.
where as in the below screen shot I draw a polygon with the listed measures, the polygon appears to be closed visually but it shows misclose distance and bearing > 0
Any clarification and help on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rauf
I get some really strange results in the Parcel Drafter when there are curves sometimes.
From what I can tell, the misclose seems to use the chord length when it calculates the misclose, regardless of whether you have your settings set to arc length.
Interestingly, if I look at that line when it completes, it shows a negative distance.
And trying to manually enter a negative distance:
I would suppose this to be a bug. Until an official fix is applied, you could just use the chord lengths, if you have them.
Hi @jcarlson ,
I found another issue with the widget, wanted to check with you whether you have any idea about it?
If I use arc length I am seeing the parcel getting closed and have certain misclose bearing, distance values but when I enter equivalent chord length in chord length mode, the parcel is not getting closed and the misclose calculations are also different.
1. arc length = 98, radius=45, it is in arc length mode.
2. chord length = 79.75 (when arc length = 98), radius = 45, it is in chord length mode but you will see the misclose calculation is different and parcel not getting closed.
