To Create a Survey Figure Using an Azimuth and a Distance

Create a new vertex from an existing vertex in the figure using an azimuth and distance. At least one vertex must exist in the figure for this command to work.

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click a named network Survey Command Window.
  2. At the Command line, enter:

    FIGURE AZ-DIST [azimuth] [distance]

Command Line Example

BEGIN 1_95

FIG NE 2000 2000

FIG ZD 50.5556 91.440

AZIMUTH: 50.5556 DISTANCE: 91.4400

NORTH: 2057.6291 EAST: 2070.9941

CRV DELTA 152.400 9.1440

CRV LENGTH -243.840 152.400

END

The following illustrates the Azimuth Distance command:

FIG ZD

Parameter Definition
azimuth The desired azimuth from the current vertex to the new vertex. Enter this value in the current survey database angular units, either DMS, grads, decimal degrees, radians, or mils.
distance The distance from the current vertex in the figure to the new vertex. Enter this value in the current survey database distance units.
