Use coordinate geometry to enter accurate geometry when creating objects and find out accurate geometry for existing objects.
Use the transparent commands to create objects using accurate geometry. For example, you can create parcel boundaries from legal documents or survey data. The COGO input commands expand the normal object creation commands by letting you use coordinate geometry to specify the points for the object.
You can use the Coordinate Geometry Editor to enter, edit, and output 2D traverse data. The Coordinate Geometry Editor enables you to create traverses from existing COGO data, load it from a polyline, or manually enter known data. You can save traverses for later modification, or generate traverse reports.
Use the inquiry commands to get accurate geometric information about objects in your drawing. For example, you can determine the coordinates of a manhole or the centerline of a new road.
