New plat

Draw a recorded description as a plat: the closed traverse on a printed sheet, with the record's calls, the area and the closure.

Cancel

The plat's corners are fixed where the closed traverse puts them and each curve keeps its record radius, so the drawing opens fully constrained. Labels are the description's own bearings and distances; a note on the sheet gives the misclosure, the precision and the rule that closed it. The sheet scale is the largest engineering scale (feet) or ratio (metres) at which the parcel fits. A zone with the latitude and longitude of the point of beginning also places the parcel on the earth as GeoJSON; NAD83 positions are written as WGS 84 without a datum shift.
