Can't make property line tool arcs work right

Recommended Posts

Has anyone mastered the property line tool? It works fine with straight lines but I'm really frustrated with the arcs. The help file doesn't really give any example. Does anyone have a step by step example of how it works. The survey example I have to work with has delta angle in d, m, & s, radius, and length.

Thanks for the help.

Larry, I had the same problem with the program asking for backtangents and what I needed was forward tangents. I couldn't get a suitable answer from VW so we constructed the geometry and found that if you did a manual conversion, by adding (or subtracting?) 90d its pretty simple to obtain the answer. Its easier to switch over to radian than degrees (or was it the other way around. Hope this isn't too cionfusing. Oh by the way you can't just input any value into the pop-up (which is the intuitive way).
