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. In addition to labels along the
polyline, line or curve tables can also be used when the table are
created using the Table Entity method in Table Defaults. 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.
