Layers allow you to have multiple lots plotted on a single drawing. Layers can be free floating or locked to a common starting point.
Enter the latitude and longitude for a plot's Point Of Beginning (POB) and the software will 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.
The deed plot closing error analyzer tool can look for common entry or survey errors and offer suggestions on how to correct them.
Subdivide the plot by hand, or choose a starting point and let the software find the nearest halves automatically for you.
