Writing Deed Descriptions
Once a series of points is entered in All Topo Maps (the
following polygon was entered using the PLS Magnet Tool (click
here to see how):
All Topo V7 can automatically generate a metes and bounds deed
description for the parcel:
First press the 'Find Wpt' button  :
All
Topo shows a list of all the current waypoints; highlight the waypoints
comprising the parcel; then select "Options: Export Selected to Deed
Description":
All Topo will write an inappropriate...

must digress a bit here...
Exported deed
descriptions are compatible with DeedPlotter+, so you can take the
following description and import it directly into DeedPlotter+,
mechanically parse it to a series of vector calls and then export
it back to All Topo Maps.
As nifty as
this might be, there is not a single application of this
mechanically generated description that has a useful or legal
purpose. The mechanically generated description has no ties to the
ground, no ties to monuments or control, it is not recoverable and has not been
inspected/approved by a licensed
surveyor.
As always, you
must consult with a Licensed Surveyor to determine the suitability
of this application to your task! |

You can choose the projection (Great
Circle (Lat/Lon), UTM Grid, State Plane Grid), the datum (any valid datum)
and units (any valid All Topo distance units) the description is written
with.
You can also instruct the description
writer to ignore 'points-on-a-line'. (RA2 is skipped in this example since
it falls on the line from RA1 to RA3. This is useful for taking a raw GPS
track log and leaving successive points that fall on a line out of the
description. |
