Use this window to create, edit, and output a Mapcheck Report.
-
Collapse All
-
Collapses all items in the tree view.
-
Expand All
-
Expands all items in the tree view.
-
Use Command Line Interface
-
Toggles on and off the command line input. When this button is toggled on you are prompted to pick labels in the drawing to create the mapcheck. Toggle this button off to create a mapcheck by entering data manually.
-
New Mapcheck Report
-
Clears the existing mapcheck report and starts a new report.
-
New Mapcheck -
Creates a new mapcheck and Point of Beginning (POB) in the Mapcheck Report.
-
New Side
-
Adds a new side to the end of the current mapcheck.
Note: This button is disabled if you have not entered a POB. -
Insert Side Before
-
Inserts a new side before the current side.
-
Insert Side After
-
Inserts a new side after the current side.
Note: This button is disabled if a side is not selected, or if you have not entered a POB. -
Delete
-
Deletes the current side or current mapcheck if no side is current.
-
Input View
-
Displays the Mapcheck Analysis window in input mode. You can enter and modify values in the view.
-
Output View
-
Displays the Mapcheck Analysis window in output mode. This view displays the closure summary.
-
Copy to Clipboard
-
Copies the contents of the input view or output view to the Windows Clipboard.
If a mapcheck is current then only that mapcheck is copied to the clipboard. If no mapcheck is current then all mapchecks are copied. Press ESC to clear a selection in tree view.
-
Insert MTEXT
-
Inserts the contents of the input view or output view as an Mtext object in the drawing.
If a mapcheck is current then only that mapcheck is inserted into the drawing. If no mapcheck is current then all mapchecks are inserted into the drawing as separate Mtext objects. Press ESC to clear a selection in tree view.
-
Create Polyline
-
Inserts a polyline into the drawing representing the current mapcheck. If there is no current mapcheck then a polyline for all mapchecks is inserted into the drawing. Press ESC to clear a selection in tree view.
Mapcheck Tree
- Name
-
Specifies the optional mapcheck name. If a name is not assigned, the display is Mapcheck <number>.
-
Point of Beginning (POB) -
Click to specify the Point Of Beginning (POB) in the drawing. All other Side points are calculated from the POB.
- Easting
-
Modify the easting value for the POB.
- Northing
-
Modify the northing value for the POB.
Side
A side can be either a line or a curve. The following section describes the values for a line Side type.
- Side Type
-
Specifies the Side as line.
- Angle Type
-
Specifies the angle type to be used. Select Direction, Angle, or Deflection from the drop-down list.
- Angle
-
Specifies the angle value for the Side based on the angle type.
- Reverse Direction
-
Select the check box to reverse the line direction or the curve chord direction by 180 degrees to calculate the endpoint coordinates for the Side.
- Distance
-
Specifies the distance value for the Side.
- Easting
-
Displays the calculated easting value for the Side.
- Northing
-
Displays the calculated northing value for the Side.
A side can be either a line or a curve. The following section describes the values for a curve Side type.
- Side Type
-
Specifies the Side as a curve.
- Curve Direction
-
Specifies the curve directions as Clockwise or Counter-clockwise.
- Traverse Method
-
Specifies how the error of closure is calculated and displayed in the Output View.
Specify one of the following:
- Across Chord: The endpoint of the curve is calculated from the Chord direction and distance.
- Through Radius: The endpoint of the curve is calculated based on the direction to the radius point, the radius length, the delta angle, and the direction from the radius point to the point of tangency. If this option is selected, additional information is displayed in the Output View.
- Radius
-
Specifies the radius value. This value is required.
Note:Calculated curve properties do not display in the Input View. Click
Output View to display the output view. - Arc Length
-
Specifies the length of the curve.
- Delta Angle
-
Specifies the curve delta angle.
- Tangent
-
Specifies the curve tangent distance.
- Chord Angle Type
-
Specifies the angle type as Direction, Angle, or Deflection. If the angle type is set to Angle or Deflection, the specified angle value is relative from a tangent line at the point of curvature to the point of tangency (long chord).
- Chord Angle
-
Specifies the chord angle value.
- Reverse Direction
-
Select the check box to reverse the line direction or the curve chord direction by 180 degrees to calculate the endpoint coordinates for the Side.
- Chord Distance
-
Specifies the chord distance value.
- Easting
-
Displays the calculated easting value of the Side endpoint.
- Northing
-
Displays the calculated northing value of the Side endpoint.
