Hi All,
I created this plot map by drawing the property lines. Many curves/rads, and the tangent arc tool seemed just the ticket. In fact, drawing seems very nice on a site like this vs table entry (much less fussing trying to figure chords and bearing on arcs).
My dilemma is, when I create the lines/arcs, I dimension them before closing the tool, and everything is fine. When I close the tool and tag them, my radii lengths somehow all change. When I go back into edit mode, all my dimension chains are correct, but the tags are still wrong.
I have tried constraining all created lines/rads to no avail, set all rads to "keep concentric",
created individual segments of the site without closure, and finish, and no matter, the arcs change length.
Thats it, please see attached image, and any wise words will be greatly appreciated.
