Add segments to the start point of an existing figure. The start point of the figure becomes the first point of the new segments.
- In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click a Figure collection or in individual figure Modify FigureStart Figure.
- Enter the figure name.
- 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.
