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 labels can be along the polyline or in line or curve tables. The Deed Reader command is used here also, for extracting the deed line and curve data from the text of the deed. This polyline can be an open polyline in which case it’s like doing an open traverse. The closure is based on the length of the polyline compared to the difference between the ending coordinate of the polyline and the ending coordinate from the label angles and distances. The deed data can then optionally be saved to deed file.
