To Create a Curve in a Survey Figure Using a Radius Point

Create a non-tangential curve using a radius point and point at the end of the curve.

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

   XC PTS [radius] [radius point] [end point]

Command Line Example

NE 1 1000 1000

Command Syntax

XC PTS [radius] [radius point] [end point]

Parameter	Definition
radius	The distance from a center point to the curve. Enter this value in current survey database distance units. Use a negative radius to draw the curve in a counter-clockwise (left) direction.
radius point	The point identifier of an existing point that is used as the radial point for the arc.
end point	The point identifier of the end point of the curve.
