Curve annotations

[Chris Gagnon]

Does anyone know a better way to annotate a curve segment to a curve table
other than the following steps:



1. curve table

2. define arc by points

3. pick start point

4. pick radius point

5. pick end point

6. left/right

7. inside/outside

This seem cumbersome when you have 300+ curve segments on a subdivision
plat. Shouldn't you be able to pick the curve...start point...end
point....and from that info survcadd know where the radius point and what
direction you are going in? I know this may have something to do with the
way autocadd defines an arc.

Instead of define arc by points use <select arc or polyline>

when you initiate the curve table routine just click on an arc.

We defined a button that automates the osnaps to pick end, center and end of
the curves - which we use to annotate curved lot lines where the
right-of-way is not broken at each sideline (preferred).

Here is the macro for that button definition: p;_endp;\_cen;\_endp;\r;\;

So, we pick our Stack Label Arc button, that we defined also, then pick the
Arc Osnap button, run through the quick picks (always in the clockwise
direction) and then have to pick the Arc Osnap button again for the next
curve segment.

This is a simple and quick fix without knowing how to program a LISP
routine.
