This command takes a set of field and design/deed points and
creates an inverse report, such as radial stakeout, for each pair
of points. The Align functions combine a translation and rotation
to go from the survey points to the deed points. The command
includes a routine to find the best point to hold and the best
point to rotate to. This command provides tools for the correlation
of surveyed points with that of deed input points. Different points
can be specified as hold points, or rotation points, and provide a
report showing the bearing and distance of all sides of the
traverse/deed, based upon the hold and rotation points. This allows
for the review of different scenarios based upon hold and rotation
points. Perhaps two points in the field are in good shape, and seem
to meet all the descriptions thereof. You decide to hold these two
points as good, but you would like to see what holding these points
will do to each side/call of the tract/description. This is what
this routine is designed to do. In addition to allowing user
specified trials of different hold and rotation points, the routine
also provides a Find Minimum Rotation option that will report which
points specified as the hold and rotation points will result in the
minimum rotation of all sides of the tract/description. All points
must be contained in the same coordinate file, and the points to be
used in the correlation must be specified as either Survey points
or Deed points.
Edit: This button allows
for editing of the highlighted/selected Survey and Deed point. Once
selected the dialog above is displayed allowing for changes to be
made.
Add: Click this button to
specify the points as either Survey or Deed points. Then fill out
the Edit Points dialog as desired.
Remove: This button will
remove the highlighted/selected Survey and Deed points from the
correlation setup. This does not delete the points from the
coordinate file.
Inverse Report: This
generates a report showing the inverse data from each point, both
survey and deed, to every other point specified in the correlation
set up. For example if there were four points in the survey points
(1-4) then the report would show inverse data from 1 to 2, 3,4;
from 2 to 1,3,4; from 3 to 1,2,4 and from 4 to 1,2,3. This
would be the same for the corresponding deed points.
Compare Before Align: This
option compares the survey information to the deed information.
Check Align: This option
that allows for user specified hold and rotation points, and then
reports the inverse data of each side of the tract/description. The
hold point and rotation point must be points from the specified
survey point group.
Find Min Align: Determines
the hold and rotation points that would result in the minimum
rotation to each side of the tract/description. When selected
the Minimum Deed Rotation Report is displayed.
Apply Alignment: This
option can be issued after the Min Align criteria is set.
Save: Performs a quick save
if the file has previously been saved.
Save As: This option prompts for a user specified file name
and allows for a user specified location to save the file.
The file extension for the deed correlation file is dcf. When
executing the program you have the option of using an existing file
or creating a new file for the deed correlation.
Exit: This button end the
routine.
Help: This button displays
the help topics relating to the Deed Correlation routine.
After specifying the hold and rotation points, the deed correlation report will display again, showing the bearing and distance of each side of the tract/description.
