Geodetic Traverse

This command creates points by traversing by bearing and distance. The program starts by prompting for a starting point. Then the bearing is entered as either grid bearing or geodetic bearing for mean, forward or backward. Then the distance is entered either as grid distance or geodetic distance at mean elevation or zero elevation, and the distance units can be either feet, meters or chains. The resulting point is then drawn using the point settings from the Point Defaults command. Before running this command, the grid projection for the drawing must be defined in the Drawing Setup command.
