To Create a Survey Figure Vertex Using an Angle and a Distance

Create a figure vertex using an angle turned from a previous backsight. Two or more vertices must exist in the figure to use this command.

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

    FIGURE ANG-DIST [angle] [distance]

Command Line Example

FIG NE 1000 1000

FIG ZD 0 222.2222

FIG AD 55.5556 304.80

AZIMUTH: 255.5556 DISTANCE: 304.8000

NORTH: 1026.301 EAST: 766.510

FIG AD 83.3333 15.240

AZIMUTH: 138.8889 DISTANCE: 15.2400

NORTH: 1017.559 EAST: 778.993

END
