Coordinate Geometry - COGO |
Calculate, review, design, and draw with LotPlot's built-in COGO routines. All COGO points can be accessed by name or picked from the screen with the mouse.
COGO Points:
- 16 character, alphanumeric point names
- 64 character point descriptions
- COGO points can be used with nearly all drawing commands.
Bearing and Distance Recall:
Easily retrieve the bearing or distance between two COGO points by simply entering the point names separated by a dash (example: Point1-Point2). You can also apply basic arithmetic to the recalled bearing or distance. Bearing and distance recall can be used with both COGO and CAD commands.
Draw with COGO points:
COGO points can be used with nearly all of the CAD commands in LotPlot. For instance, you can draw lines from point to point just by entering the point names.
