Lines and Arcs
Lines and arcs have the following features and properties.
- They can be drawn with the mouse.
- They can be drawn from COGO points.
- They can include bearing & distance labels.
- Bearing and distance automatically update if a line is modified.
- They can have their own color and line-type.
- They can include arrowheads at either end.
Tracts (Polylines)
A tract entity is similar to a POLYLINE in AutoCAD (but better!). They can be used not only for drawing parcels but also for drawing roads, setbacks, fence lines and more.
- Tract entities automatically calculate their area.
- Can be filled with a color or hatch pattern.
- Can include bearings and distances.
- Bearings and distances automatically update if the tract is modified.
- Usually used to describe a lot or parcel but can be used to draw other features such as a road, centerline, fence, or easement.
- Can be used to automatically create a legal-description with the included ProCogo XL version of Legal-Aid.
Text including Arc Text
There are three types of text entities that you can use. Regular text, multi-text (for paragraphs), and arc text.
- All text can be rotated in any direction.
- Multi-text will automatically word-wrap to whatever paragraph width that you specify.
- Arc text can pull curve data from the underlying arc and display it.
- You can place text on up to 5 concentric bands both inside and outside of the arc.
Blocks (Symbols)
Blocks are symbols that you can create and use throughout your drawings.
- Over 40 blocks are included with the program.
- You can also create your own blocks to use.
- Blocks can store data such as tree size or monument number. These are called "attributes" and you can create as many as you wish for each block.
- Blocks can be assigned to feature codes and automatically placed when importing ASCII point files or raw data files (*.rw5)
- Blocks have their own scale factor to control their size in the drawing.
Line-types
Over 30 line-types to choose from.
Images
Add images such as aerials or scanned maps. Tract TOPO features or use them for a location map.
