Methodology

Command:-36
Alpha Alias:-BestFit Deed
Description:Adjusts deed figure based on best two point comparison
Data Format: -36 Tolerance Deed-Pt Field-Pt {[Deed-Pt Field-Pt].. } 0 Shift-Points ;
Problem: Given the deed outline below (points 1 to 7), and the field located points (11 to 14) shown together with the associated traverse, rotate the deed to the best two point deed-to-field distance comparison.

Data Description

Command

-36

Computes the angle of rotation between lines of a defined deed figure and the lines of a defined field figure. Adjusts the defined deed outline to best match the field outline, based on a best fit between two points.

An angle of rotation is computed between each specified deed line and the corresponding field line. The angle is measured clockwise from the deed line to the field line if the field line lies to the right. If the bearing of the field line lies to the left of the deed line, the angle is measured counter-clockwise.

Note: The deed and field points are entered in reverse order in the 18 and -18 commands. You must enter the deed points first in the -36 command.

Once the initial results of a -36 command are seen and accepted, the command can be replaced with a -10 command followed by a -18 command. The -36 command can also be edited to remove the best-fitting points, and a different solution can be sought. This may be done several times in an attempt to get a good fit for as many points as possible.

Tolerance

25

Minimum distance between points to be used for comparison.

Deed-Pt
Field-Pt

1, 11

Point numbers used to define the deed figure and the field figure.

{[Deed-Pt
Field-Pt].. }

4, 12
5, 13
6, 14

Repeating feature of this command. Allows you to enter deed points and field points in order. As many pairs may be entered as necessary to define the figures. Both figures must have the same number of points in their definitions.

End Repeating

0

End the repeating feature section.

Shift-Ponts

1, -8

List of all the deed points that are to be shifted based on the angle of rotation calculated to be the best fit.

If you want to define a series of sequential points, enter the first and last points in the series. The last point number of the series must be preceded by a hyphen. All the points between the two values are adjusted. Example: Enter 1, -50 to adjust all the points from 1 through 50, inclusive.

The points to be shifted are listed separately from the points for comparison so that all deed corners and curve centers can be rotated, not just those which are directly associated with field points. If necessary, it is also possible to rotate only part of a deed figure.

End Command

;

All commands end with a semi-colon.
