Parcel Map Check HTML Report mods

[Anonymous]

For those of you that have tried to submit lot closure calcs to the local
agency and have been snickered at for using the stock C3D report.....this
one's for you.

I did not like the way these reports looked, at all. Nor does anyone else
around these parts. Maybe the stock reports work just fine in other parts of
the world, but I had to figure out a way to get them more presentable for
us. So far I have only worked on the MapCheck report and I have it to a
point that I think is much more usable. And, it uses far less paper when
printed out than the stock report does. Also, the stock report does not let
you sort the parcels so they are output in the order they were created. I
have added a sort function that allows you to sort by any of the columns in
the Parcel Listbox, thus allowing you to actually have the report in the
order of the Parcel Numbers. Another, smaller, change is that I do not show
the actual parcel Name. I do show the parcel description, but if there is no
description then I use the Parcel Number for the description.

I'm attaching a PNG showing the 2010 stock report on the left, and my
modified report on the right. At this time I have only compiled it for use
with 2009, but will be porting it to 2010 once I'm sure it's working as
desired.

If anyone has any comments, or would like a copy of the revised .NET DLL,
just let me know. Until I get it working correctly with all of the .NET
reports, I will not be posting the source code though.

@Anonymous, welcome to the forums! And thank you for pointing this out. I will get that corrected.

Revised ZIP file with new builds for C3D 2012-2016 to correct the DirectionOut of merged arcs.

That was fast! Thank you very much.

Jeff,

Did you post your modified source code to this site or the swamp?  I searched but was unable to find it.

thank you,

Stacy

I thought I had posted it the customization forum, @stacy.dunn, but I didn't find it, either. So I just added it to an old post where I had originally posted the source code for C3D 2009/10.

Okay, I'm starting to feel very foolish as I am sure I am just missing a step to get this to work. I have unlocked the zip file, I have extracted the files and I am not seeing any .dll files, and neither is windows/cad. Here is a screen shot of what I get after I extract the files.  Also if I locate the files in question, where exactly do I place them?

 

Any help would be great, Thanks in advance.

@Anonymous, it looks like you grabbed to Source files zip. This includes only the source code which is used to create the dll's . If you want the prebuilt dll's and NOT the source code, I posted these in a zip file in post # 82 of this thread.

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Thank you very much, I will see if I can get this to work now. I've been creeping around for a while.

Hi Jeff, were still using C3D 2010, i have been looking at the parcel report is there a way to add acre display for 2010.  It looks like that option was added for 2012-2016.

Thank You

Ruslan,

@Anonymous, Welcome to the forums! I had to resurrect an old laptop that still has 2010 installed in order to build a new dll, but managed to do that this morning. I was unable to test it, however, it should work just fine. Note that this version must have the 2 included files placed in the reports folder...see the older instructions in this thread.

Greatly appreciated it works like a charm!!!

Hi Jeff,

I just received a mark up from one of our local municipalities asking that the segments in the lot closure not be split into 2 length due to neighboring parcel lines.

I found this thread and downloaded the .ZIP file of the .dll you created.  It has versions for C3D 2012 through 2016. I was wondering if the 2016 would work with C3D 2017, or should I wait for an update?

Thank you.

Marty.

@Anonymous, New zip file with the 2017 version included. I have not tested the 2017 version, but have no reason to think that it won't work.

[Anonymous]

Wow that was quick! Thanks!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Marty.

Hi Jeff,

This appears to be the source code for the dll. Is it possible to get a compiled version of this?

Thanks,

Marty.

[Jeff_M]

Marty, the zip in post 93 only has dll's in it, no source code.

[Anonymous]

Thanks you!

Hi Jeff,

The reporting tool works. Thanks.

I have included a snip of the .txt output for reference.  The output includes a lot of quote marks.  These are easily dealt with by search & replace. But I thought you might want to be aware.  

I can not check any version other than the 2017, as that is all I have access to.

Thanks again for your help.  It is going to save me a lot of time.

Marty.

Thanks for letting me know about this, @Anonymous. I always use either the Word or PDF output which both work fine, it appears this only affects the TXT output type. This issue also affects the unmodified C3D report.

Jeff,

I came across a weird case where the merge segments option merges two lines that it shouldn't; see attached custom report, stock report and drawing. There is and angle break of 08".
