How to get azimuth at parcel inverse report insted bearing or with it .

I can point you in the right direction, but the rest is up to you. Make sure to make copies of the files so that you can revert back if need be. It requires modifying the xsl files. 

They can be found in the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2019\enu\Data\Reports\xsl

You can modify the Parcel_Inverse.xsl file. 

You will find this area of the file.

Notice the formatBearingDMS($angle)

Now open the file: General_Formating_JScript.xsl

Look for the following: 

function formatAngleToDMS(angle)
{
	var degrees = Math.floor(angle);

	var dMin = 60. * (angle - degrees);
	var minutes = Math.floor(dMin);

	var dSec = 60. * (dMin - minutes);
	var seconds = formatAngleNumber(dSec);

	return degrees + "-" + minutes + "-" + seconds;
}

This function returns a formatted angle similar to an Azimuth. 

Copy this function, modify to return a formatted azimuth, and rename it to something like "formatAzimuthDMS". The code is in Java language. 

Modify the Parcel_Inverse.xsl to point to this function. 

Hope this helps.

Add this function to the General_Formating_JScript.xsl file.

The following is the function for formatting Azimuth.

function formatAzimuthDMS(angle)
{
   // decimal degrees are E=0, N=90, W=180, S=270 (counter-clockwise)
   var angNum;
   if(angle >= 0 && angle <= 90)
   {
      angNum = 90. - angle;
   }
   else
   {
      angNum = 360. - (angle - 90.);
   }
	
   var azimuth = formatAngleToDMS(angNum);
   return "N " + azimuth;
}

Now modify the Parcel_Inverse.xsl file

Original Columns: 

<tr>	
   <td width="33%">&#160;</td>
   <xsl:variable name="Bearing" select="landUtils:formatBearingDMS($angle)"/>
   <xsl:variable name="LineLength" select="landUtils:GetLineLength()"/>
   <td>Bearing: <xsl:value-of select="$Bearing"/></td>
   <td>Length: <xsl:value-of select="landUtils:FormatNumber(string($LineLength), string($SourceLinearUnit), string($Parcel.Line_Segment_Length.unit), string($Parcel.Line_Segment_Length.precision), string($Parcel.Line_Segment_Length.rounding))"/></td>
</tr>

Modified columns: 

<tr>	
   <td width="33%">&#160;</td>
   <xsl:variable name="Azimuth" select="landUtils:formatAzimuthDMS($angle)"/>
   <xsl:variable name="LineLength" select="landUtils:GetLineLength()"/>
   <td>Azimuth: <xsl:value-of select="$Azimuth"/></td>
   <td>Length: <xsl:value-of select="landUtils:FormatNumber(string($LineLength), string($SourceLinearUnit), string($Parcel.Line_Segment_Length.unit), string($Parcel.Line_Segment_Length.precision), string($Parcel.Line_Segment_Length.rounding))"/></td>
</tr>

hello i didnt under stand u because i didib=nt have knowledge about this
can u edit inverse report and make ir plz


notr i edit general_formaring .....but i'm not sure is it work




thx about all

[momenrayyan]

Tis work tank u so much 

[momenrayyan]

i have issue at this 

Namespace 'http://www.autodesk.com/land/civil/vcedit' does not contain function 'formatAzimuthDMS'.

Hello!

Sorry bothering you but I'm trying to use the function formaAzimuthDMS in Metes And Bounds report but it's not working.

I just replaced the formatBearingDMS sintax with yours, instead off adding a new function and make some mistakes, but the error says the line 223, col=0 is dislocated from the block or something like that!

Could you help me with this?

@Rodrigo_Abb  It looks like you have an extra } at the end.
