For those of you who have spiral curves in your platted documents, I was wondering if you might share some insight on how you are treating them.  Right now, all I can really do is omit the radius and just enter in the Chord and Chord length.  I then reduce the accuracy of that line due to its "special" definition.  Any other ideas?

While you are looking at the Spiral Curve I'd like to suggest that you look at including Deflection Angles in the COGO tool.  Many of our legal descriptions use Deflection Angles and using the right click options is slow and clunky.  Seems like it would be an easy addition.

We have a railroad that crosses our county as well as several older highways that use spiral curves.  I would really like the ability to enter them.  We have them in old descriptions and new descriptions.  Here are some examplesSpiralSample.PNGSpiralSample2.PNG
