AGT Topo - Feature List

General

DTM / Contours

COGO - Coordinate Geometry

COGO calculations are shown on the left side of the screen
Retain and review the last 2000 lines of calcualtions, scroll back at anytime
Cut/copy/paste, edit and print text window (calculations)
Lock text window to avoid accidental edits
Select points by point number or pick them from the screen. Also use COGO points with CAD routines
Instrument setup by points or mouse pick
Traverse, curve traverse, sideshot
Inverse, area, closure
Elevation and slope reduction
- None (2D)
- Slope distance / zenith angle
- Slope distance / vertical angle
- Horz. distance / direct elevation
Radial Stakeout
- Optional search radius

Station/Offset, set and inverse
- Along a line or arc by points
- Along a baseline (like a centerline)
- Set or inverse by point names
- Set or inverse by mouse pick
Three point curve
Rotate/translate
- Using points only
- Both points and linework
Set points
- Manually enter coordinates
- Pick location in drawing
Points managements
- Enter/edit points
- List points (used, unused, all)
- Compare points
- Select points by description

Units

COGO Points

Alpha-numeric point names
16 character point names
64 character point description
12 different point symbols
Point label options
- Point name
- Northing, Easting
- Elevation
- Description
Auto-scaling point labels (labels can stay the same size regardless of zoom size)
Prompt for descriptions, on or off
Specify separate layer for new COGO points
Set default point properties
Point Protection
Show/hide all points
Call up points by name, or pick them with the mouse.
Points can be used in CAD routines. For example, when drawing a line, you can specify the line from point 10 to point 11

CAD / Graphics

Line, arc, tract (polyline) point, block (symbol), text, multi-text and arc-text entities.
Over 30 line-types
Insert images for background or tracing
Mouse picks automatically snap to nearest COGO point, endpoint, intersection or object (can be turned off)
Additional precision snaps
- Snap to midpoint of line or arc
- Snap to center of arc
- Snap perpendicular to line or arc
- Snap tangent to an arc
- Snap direction parallel to an existing line
Enter locations by lat/lon
Move Endpoint command.
Move, copy (with repeat), rotate, scale, edit, change and delete commands
Nudge command to "bump" objects into position with arrow keys
Group and un-group objects
Break, trim, extend and trim to intersection
Fillet, offset and offset tract
256 Layers

Blocks (Symbols)

Blocks are symbols that you can create, modify, and share with others
Create your own custom blocks
Include custom data fields such as type, size, PLS# or whatever else you need
Map blocks to feature codes to automaitcally insert blocks from field files or imported ASCII files
Modify a block, all blocks in the drawing automatically update as well
Import and export custom blocks between other drawings
Share blocks with all users on your network
Includes over 40 blocks ready for you to use or modify
Blocks are compatible with AutoCAD blocks

Annotations

Automatic bearing/distance on lines
Bearing/distance automatically updates if line changes directon or length
Custom bearing/distance placement (above the line, below the line, cast off, etc.)
Drawg bearing or distance to a new location
Automatic area for tract objects
Area is automatically recalculated if tract shape is modified
Annotate curves with arc-text command
Curve and line tables

Import/Export

Import COGO points from ASCII, DXF and ProCogo files (all versions)
Import another AGT Topo drawing into the current one. For instance, import the drawing of an adjoining lot into the current drawing
Export to Google Earth via a KML file
Export to a shape-file
Export drawing to a bitmap image file (then load image into a word processor perhaps)
Expor to a legacy ProCogo 2005/LT COGO file (points only)
