FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITY
|
Preparing General Plans for Surveyor General Submission
For general plans the existing layout drawing can be fully dimensioned using the Survey Toolkit, and all required tables can be generated.
In terms of Dimensioning, all polygons that have been given an identifying (erf) number can be automatically dimensioned. This means that the entire GP can be dimensioned in one go. The dimensioning algorithm is intelligent enough to place the dimension on the correct side of the line or alternatively, to straddle the line as applicable. Road reserves are kept free of dimensions.
Tables for the outside figure data, block corner, reference mark, control coordinate tables, and the erf areas listing, are all drawn as part of the toolkit functionality.
