LISP for area in acres and segment bearings & distances

[freddy_j]

I'm looing for a LISP routine that spits out the area of a closed polyline in acres along with bearings & distances of the segments. I'd also like curve information if the polyline contains one. Anyone have one or a link to one they would like to share?

Have you tried the Parcel tool?

A little. I also need something for when a boundary DOESN'T close.

Somewhere I have a lisp that I used from DCA's
first release thru Softdesk8 which was just too slick (for it's time). I
couldn't locate it quickly though, but if that link doesn't do it for you I'll
look a little harder....might involve finding a PC that will read from an old
5.25" floppy.....

There's also the Mapcheck Analysis in 2009+ that
allows you to select the labels of a pline and it gives you the closure &
area information.

I currently have a LISP for the acreage (area). Ideally, I would like one that has that information along with the line/curve information.

This is a major problem with sites as far as I'm concerned. Again, it's engineers coding the software, not surveyors. I've yet to find a boundary that really closes to four decimal places in recoded plats, and or field survey, so to arbitrarilly close a boundary just to have a site to start with, feels wrong to me.

Just for the record, the Product Designer for Survey is a licensed
surveyor in NH. You may not like his design, but it's not because he's
an engineer or code jockey.

So who's the "Product Designer" for the Engineering side? Is that left to a single person, for everything?

If not, why is one person expected to come up with the entire design for Survey, but not Engineering? Is that a reasonable expectation?

I'm inpressed! In the last few weeks have found out there is a Market
Readiness Manager-Civil Engineering, a Surveyor Product Designer and can't
remember the exact title but something like "emergency response team" for
hotfixes. Can QA/QC be close? Things are looking up!

Hey Fred,

Send me your contact information. I think I have exactly what you need.

I'm so confused. Just plot the deed and make it close with a parcel segment line. Than put that segment on a no plot or layer to freeze so it doesn't show. You get what you want, a parcel is created because it is technically closed but you don't see the closing segment.

This is what we do and it works great...

mspatz
[p.s. don't get me the area argument. If you have an issue with the area don't show the parcel calculated area or create your closing segment in such a manner that you get the desired area. Besides, typically in this case you wouldn't show the parcel area you would simply input the deed area since you are not doing a determination].

[Anonymous]

OR:

Use the line and label it "Linear Error of
Mis-Closure".
