About Figure Commands

The following table lists the figure-related AutoCAD Civil 3D survey commands and briefly describes their functionality.

Note: These commands must be entered in the Survey Command Window. For more information, see Survey Command Window.

Command	Description
AREA [figure]	Lists the area and perimeter of a figure
BEG [figure]	Begins a new figure
C3	Draws a 3-point curve
CLOSE	Closes a figure

CLOSE RECT [offset]	Closes a figure
CONT [figure]	Continues a figure to add additional vertices to it
CRV [DELTA, LENGTH, DEFL, MID, TAN, CHORD] [radius] [value]	Creates a curve in the current figure
DEL FIG [figure]	Deletes a figure from the drawing
DISP FIGS	Lists all the existing figure names in the current drawing
END	Indicates the end of a figure
FIG AD [angle] [distance]	Creates a figure vertex using an angle and distance

FIG BD [bearing] [quadrant] [distance]	Creates a figure vertex using a bearing and distance
FIG NE [northing] [easting]	Creates a figure vertex using known coordinates
ID FIG	Identifies a figure
INVERSE FIG [figure]	Displays the exact closure (inverse) information for a figure
MCS	Starts a multi-point curve within an active figure
MCE	Ends a multi-point curve within an active figure
MAPCHECK [figure]	Displays mapcheck information for a figure
OFFSET [figure] [distance]	Offsets a figure
PC	Specifies that the next shot is a point of curvature
POINT [point]	Selects an existing point to be the next vertex in the figure
RT [distance]	Defines a right turn in a figure
SET (point)	Creates a point at the current location in a figure
