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

Create a figure vertex using a deflection angle and distance. The deflection angle is turned clockwise from the current whole circle bearing. 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 DEFL-DIST [angle] [distance]

Parameter Definition
angle The deflection angle as measured 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. Enter this value in the current survey database distance units.
