Area Summary
The Area Summary feature allows you to get information on the area
and perimeter of one or more parcels and the tract that contains
the parcels.
After choosing the Area Summery menu item and, if required, opening
a coordinate file, you are asked to specify the type of Area
Summary you want:
Type of Area Summary [Complete/Area only/Mapcheck] <C>:
Complete Area Summary
Complete summary allows you to get complete information on the area
and perimeter of parcels and the tract that contains the
parcels
Source of points defining area [Point group/Manual entry]
<P>
If you have a Point Group, enter <P>. Enter <M>
if you prefer to manually enter the points.
Once the overall area and parcels have been defined either by using
a point group or manually entering the information, the Complete
Area Summary is displayed at the command line.
The points used in defining the area are listed first. If there are
any arcs involved in the area computation, all of the elements of
the curve will be displayed as well. After listing the points
defining the area, the area and perimeter summary are reported.
Area Only
The data input is the same as for the Complete Area Summary but the
report produced contains only the area of each parcel and the
accumulated area for the entire tract
Mapcheck Area
The data input is the same as for the Complete Area Summary as is
the resulting report except that it also includes closure
information. The closure information includes the correct
ending coordinates; the actual ending coordinates; the northings,
eastings, and bearing and distance of the error; the total distance
traversed and the overall closure.
