To Extend a Figure From the Start Point

Add segments to the start point of an existing figure. The start point of the figure becomes the first point of the new segments.

Note: For syntax descriptions, see the Quick Reference tab.

To extend a figure from the start point in the Survey Command Window

1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click a Figure collection or in individual figure Modify FigureStart Figure.
2. Enter the figure name.
3. Define the next vertex by selecting the points on screen or by entering one of the following options:
   • AD and then the angle and distance
   • BD and then the bearing and distance.
   • ZD and then the azimuth and distance.
   • DD and then the deflection distance.
   • RT and then a negative or positive right distance, which is a right angle departure from the last leg of the figure.
   • CU to create a curve, type the radius, and select one of the following options for creating the curve: Select entry (Tan/Chord/Delta/Ext/Mid/Length)<Length>:
   • PT and then the point identifier.
   • CL to close the figure, linking the last vertex with the first point.

Command Line Example

AP ON 1

BEG ROAD

NE SS 1000 1000

NE SS 1200 1200

NE SS 1400 1400

BEG EP

FIG NE 1300 1300

FIG ZD 180 200

START ROAD

This example starts figure ROAD, which proceeds from N 1000 E 1000 with a referenced azimuth away from N 1300 E 1300.

Note:

The Start command, like the Continue and Begin commands, ends the current figure.
