Inquiry Tools

 
The inquiry tools have been written to output information in the format A/E/C professional need.

· Measure the distance and angle between two points.

Output: Distance = 112.70’ Angle = N90d00’00” Running Total: 312.12’
· Measure the angle between two lines or a line and an arc.
Output types:

Two lines are selected:

Angle 1 = 69d01'11" Angle 2 = 110d58'49"

If the lines are parallel, distance between lines is calculated.

Lines parallel. Distance: xx.xx

A line and an arc are selected:

Line tangent to arc. Endpoints match.

Line tangent to arc. Endpoints do not match.

Line radial to arc. Endpoints match.

Line radial to arc. Endpoints do not match.

Line intersects arc in two places.

Line does not intersect arc.

Line not radial to arc. 09d01'11" degrees off radial.

Two arcs are selected:

Arcs concentric. Distance: xx.xx

Arcs Tangent. Endpoints match.

Arcs Tangent. Endpoints do not match.

Arcs non-concentric. Radius points offset: xx.xx
· Display the coordinate values of a location.
· Add the lengths of selected arcs, ellipses, circles, lines, polylines, and splines.
· Display the survey information for lines, arcs, polylines as objects, or inside blocks or Xrefs.
Output:

Bearing = N64d31'20"E, Distance = 261.47'

or

Delta = 52d22'26", Radius = 500.00', Length = 457.05'

Tangent = 245.89', Chord = 441.30', Bearing = N89d17'27"W
· List Object.
· Calculate and label the area of selected objects and points.
· Calculate and label the area of an enclosed area by selecting a point.
