Don@Black Dog Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Any ideas for a reasonable (or understandable) method of drawing property lines from the typical coordinates on a deed (ie: Northeast 44 degrees, 24 minutes, 30 seconds)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
CS1 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Do you mean the unit symbol 44?24'30" ? Quote Link to comment
Peter Eichel Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 VW's has a property line tool that does a great job, you may need Landmark or the Designer series of VW's. I draw a lot of site plans for a retired surveyor and wouldn't consider the work without this tool. The only flaw is it's inability to draw just one property line, as it wants to close the "loop". I draw the line I need and another to create the closed boundry the tool requires, ungroup the result and delete what you don't need. You'll also have to decompose the actual property line as it's a polygon. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Check the Property Line Tool. It allows typical surveyor/deed coordinates for data entry. I think this might be part of the Architect/Landmark/Designer package. Pat Quote Link to comment

Thanks! 1st, that would be N44˚24'30"E, right? I personally don't like the PL tools in VWA since curves are very tough to define in a dialogue box if they are not tangent to a preceding line. Instead I assemble the geometry from a bunch of lines and arcs. For your example above, draw a vertical line of the required length, and using the rotate dialogue (double tap "R"), enter "-44d24m24s". Quote Link to comment
Don@Black Dog Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks, all. I will give both a try. Did not know about the property line tool. I also have curves, so may have to use a combination. Quote Link to comment
