Metes and Bounds - Deed Plotting Software

Metes and Bounds Plotter Features

Turn Metes and Bounds data into a deed plot map.

Easy to use data entry form. Enter lines, curves, azimuths, compass points and section calls. Data can be entered using the convenient Data Entry Form or freehand using word processor style entry. Deed plots can also be easily drawn by hand using the call drawing tool.

Automatic Plots from Legal Description. Our deed plotting software can pull most calls from a legal description. Just load the legal description text into the Deed Cleanup Tool and the software will enter the calls for you automatically.

Background Pictures. Background pictures can be set to scale with your plot drawing. Background picture scale settings can be automatically set using World Files.

Multiple Deed Layers: Layers allow you to have multiple deeds plotted on a single drawing. Layers can be free floating or locked to a common starting point.

Perform plot calculations: Square Feet, Acres, Hectares, perimeter distance and more.

Metes and Bounds will calculate if the survey closes or not. Calculate closure errors: closing error ratios and the call needed to close the plot. Apply Compass Rule Adjustments.

The deed plot closing error analyzer tool can look for common entry or survey errors and offer suggestions on how to correct them.

Auto-Completion of drawing. If you're missing the final segment of your land plotting data, let our deed plotting program finish the mapping for you. Determine closure errors. Have a bad or missing call? Enter a question mark (?) for the call and let our deed plotting software find the missing call for you. Close drawings using Bearing-Bearing Intersections and Distance-Distance Intersections.

Multiple measurement types: Data can be inputted using Feet, meters, rods, chains and many other measurement types. There should be a measurement type for any of your real estate plotter needs.

Create section drawings:

(N 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4)

Easy to use measuring tool. Measure the distance between any two points on the screen.

Automatic labeling: Each line can be automatically labeled with the length and call. End points can be marked for easier recognition. End points can also be labeled with information like the interior/exterior angles and Lat/Long coordinates.

Create custom labels. Custom labels can be rotated in any direction. Search feature can be used to find which layers contain which labels.

Call Lists: Drawings can include a call list:


Custom X,Y points. Use custom X,Y points to mark and label unique land features on the deed plot.

Subdivide a single deed plot into multiple deed plots. Split the plot by hand, or choose a starting point and let our deed plotting software find the nearest halves automatically for you.

Merge Layer: Layers can be easily merged into a single layer using the Merge Layer Tool.

Printing: Deed plot printouts can include borders, north arrow and title block.

Customizable Toolbar: Create an interface that fits to your workflow.

Interoperability: Metes and Bounds deed plotting software has been designed to be as compatible with as many different systems and programs as possible.

Exporting: Deed Plot data can be exported as DXF files, KML Files, CSV files, Shapefiles(.shp) and more.

Importing: Deed Plotting data can be import from many types of DXF files, KML files, CSV files Shapefiles(.shp), GeoJSON and more.

Call lists can be formatted for importing into Metes and Bounds or exporting from Metes and Bounds with other deed plotting software such as Net Deed Plotter® by Greenbrier Graphics, LLC.

Real-world X,Y coordinates. Export real-world X,Y coordinates for integration with other mapping software such as GIS software.

Waypoints to metes and bounds calls. Convert a set of waypoints, x/y or Latitude/Longitude based, into a list of deed plotting calls.

Enter Waypoints and Tracks. Add GPS waypoints and tracks to your deed plots. Import GPX and KML files. Calculate things like the distance between two waypoints.

Real-world Latitude and Longitude coordinates. Enter the latitude and longitude for a plot's POB and let our deed plotting software calculate the latitude and longitude for each of the other end points.  A plot's POB lat/long can also be set by UTM datum or World Files.
