To Create a Non-Tangential Curve in the Current Survey Figure

In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click a named network Survey Command Window.
At the Command line, enter:
XC AD BULB [radius] [chord angle] [chord distance]

Note: Use the BULB parameter if the resulting curve is greater than 180 degrees.

The following illustrates a non-tangential curve:

XC AD BULB [radius] [chord angle] [chord distance]

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.
chord angle	The clockwise angle to turn from the last vertex in the figure.
chord distance	The distance from the current vertex in the figure.
