These commands must be entered in the Survey Command Window. For more information, see Survey Command Window.

Command

Description

AREA [figure] Lists the area and perimeter of a figure
BEG [figure] Begins a new figure
C3 Draws a 3-point curve
CLOSE Closes a figure
CLOSE BLD Closes a figure
CLOSE RECT [offset] Closes a figure
CONT [figure] Continues a figure to add additional vertices to it
CRV [DELTA, LENGTH, DEFL, MID, TAN, CHORD] [radius] [value] Creates a curve in the current figure
DEL FIG [figure] Deletes a figure from the drawing
DISP FIGS Lists all the existing figure names in the current drawing
END Indicates the end of a figure
FIG AD [angle] [distance] Creates a figure vertex using an angle and distance
FIG DD [deflection] [distance] Creates a figure vertex using a deflection angle and distance
FIG ZD [azimuth] [distance] Creates a figure vertex using an azimuth and distance
FIG BD [bearing] [quadrant] [distance] Creates a figure vertex using a bearing and distance
FIG NE [northing] [easting] Creates a figure vertex using known coordinates
ID FIG Identifies a figure
INVERSE FIG [figure] Displays the exact closure (inverse) information for a figure
MCS Starts a multi-point curve within an active figure
MCE Ends a multi-point curve within an active figure
MAPCHECK [figure] Displays mapcheck information for a figure
OFFSET [figure] [distance] Offsets a figure
PC Specifies that the next shot is a point of curvature
POINT [point] Selects an existing point to be the next vertex in the figure
RT [distance] Defines a right turn in a figure
SET (point) Creates a point at the current location in a figure
START [figure] Extends a figure from the start point
XC ZD (BULB) [radius] [chord azimuth] [chord distance] Creates a curve using the chord azimuth
XC BD (BULB) [radius] [chord bearing] [quadrant] [chord distance] Creates a curve using the chord bearing
XC AD (BULB) [radius] [chord angle] [chord distance] Creates a non-tangential curve
XC DD (BULB) [radius] [chord deflection] [chord distance] Creates a curve using the chord deflection
XC C3 [point on curve] [end point] Creates a curve using a point on the curve
XC PTS [radius] [radius point] [end point] Creates the curve radius
