When I click on the line, there is no such option as "direction/length" or even "Properties", regardless if its created in COGO or using Create Features.. Is this a deprecated feature do you think?
I've realized that if the incoming and outgoing straight courses are both tangent to the curve, the deflection angle from the incoming course to the chord is simply Delta / 2, and can be used to calculate the chord direction
I am having the exact same problem. I am trying to edit a parcel in parcel fabric. The plan I am working off of gives the following values:
Delta: 70°39'45"
Radius: -45
Tangent Length: 31.90
Arc Length: 55.50
Using the "Curve Calculator", I also have calculated the Chord Distance (52.049') and the Chord Height (8.289'). All of this information is great, but I do not have values for either the Chord, Radial, or Tangent Bearing. Is it possible to calculate a bearing from the given values? I realize I could find the end points by saving the curve as the final piece of the parcel, but some parcels have two or three curves in them, making that a flawed approach. I have attached a copy of the plan I am working with for reference. Danny - Have you figured out a way to deal with the issue?
Tim - Any advice given the values presented? I do not mean to hijack this post, and if this would be better off as it's own post, let me know and I will create one.
Thanks,
Jay
Jay, from that plat it looks like all the curves are assumed tangent. You can either set the plan properties to reflect this or use the * symbol in the bearing field to set it to tangent (type the radius and arclength).
Maybe I'm missing something, please let me know if I'm not understanding.
