Process Deed File

Function

This command contains several functions for deed (.PDD) files. A deed file consists of one or more deed descriptions. Each deed description includes a deed name, starting coordinate and line/curve data. This deed data can be created with the Enter Deed Description command. This command begins with the Process Deed File dialog.

Edit opens the Edit Deed dialog where you can view or modify the deed name, starting coordinates, or line/curve data. Within this dialog the following commands are available.

Edit allows you to edit the currently highlighted deed call.

Add allows you to add a new deed call (line or curve).
Remove removes the highlighted deed call.
Add opens the Edit Deed dialog where you can add a new deed.
Remove removes the currently highlighted deed.
Report generates a report for the currently highlighted deed. The report is displayed in the Standard Report Viewer.

Draw draws the currently highlighted deed in the drawing and returns to the main dialog. The actual geometry will not appear in the drawing until you exit Process Deed File. Use the Auto-Annotate command to label the deed.
Save saves the currently loaded deed (.PDD) file.
Save As allows you to save the currently loaded deed (.PDD) file to another file name.
