the curve routine does not work very well. It likes to put erronous info in the blank fields when you usually only have a radius & arc length.
I will have to ivestigate the help menu.

I too have this problem.

I haven't found anything in the help file that would indicate if there is a way to limit the number of edit-able variables for arcs, which would be a welcome addition to this command. I would add a check box of some sort that allows you to input whether or not the arc is tangent or non-tangent to the previous call and that might be sufficient.

I've noticed the computing curves are better under the ENTER DEED DESCRIPTION routine than trying to add them in the PROCESS DEED FILE

You're right, however, that is only a work-around, not a solution to the problem. If you have to edit a curve later, due to some new deed or exception that you find in a new title report for example, you have to know all of the values of the curve or redraw just the section of the curve including the tangent in and (possibly) out.

I grew up on Terramodel and there was an option the their version of the Process Deed File command that allowed you to turn off and on the edit-able (and even visible!) variables of arcs and I'd really like to see that implemented into Carlson products.
