Map Check by Screen Entities

This command allows you to check the closure of a figure, and produce a report from the Distance and Bearing labels in the drawing. The command works by prompting for a polyline and a sample of the text labels. Then the program looks for text on the sample layer and matches the text labels to the polyline segments. The text to process can be selected manually or automatically using an offset factor from the polyline. The Deed Reader command is used here also, for extracting the deed line and curve data from the text of the deed. The deed data can then optionally be saved to deed file.
