We’ll take care of this in the next step.
Chances are the default settings don’t match your office standards. (Note: You may have to allow blocked content to complete this task.) In the pane on the left side, click the “Append to Report” button to view the property dimensions written in a legal description style format.Īs you review the report, pay note to the formatting (especially the precisions). The report will be displayed within a web browser. Finally, click OK to dismiss the dialog box and generate the report. Within the Export to XML Report dialog box, click the “Pick from Drawing” button and then select the parcel by clicking on its area label and press Enter. In this case, we only need the report to include data for a single parcel, so in the next step we’ll manually select the data we are interested in.) (Reports are generated from LandXML data extracted from a drawing. On the Toolbox Tab of the Toolspace, within the Reports Manager, expand the Parcel category and double-click on “General_Legal_Description_for_Parcels” to create a report. Now that the geometry has been converted into a parcel, its dimensions can easily be extracted using a report. If desired, select styles that match your office standards.) When finished, click OK. (Note: Available styles will depend on the template you are using. In addition, select “Automatically Add Segment Labels” and accept the label style defaults. In the Create Parcel from Objects dialog box, accept the defaults for site, parcel style and area label style. Then, using a crossing selection, select the geometry on screen and press Enter. To do that, visit the Create Design Panel, open the Parcel menu and select “Create Parcel from Objects”. We’ll start by converting these entities into a parcel. Fortunately, Civil 3D makes it easy to extract property measurements into a “legal description format” such that they can be copy/pasted into your favorite text editor.īelow is some geometry that represents a closed property boundary… Writing a legal description usually involves checking, and re-checking (and checking again!) the measured bearings and distances in a CAD drawing against the measurements written in the description.

Since a legal description defines the “legally recognized” limits of a property, it MUST be free of errors. A legal description represents the meticulous documentation of dimensions that define a property boundary. When it comes to survey tasks, there is nothing quite as tedious as writing legal descriptions.
