Reporting line inconsistencies in the parcel traverse

Available with Standard or Advanced license.

The dimension fields of a line in the traverse/construction grid are highlighted when the line shape differs from its bearing by more than 10 degrees and from its distance by more than 20 percent.

Row highlighting in the traverse grid

The inconsistent line can be caused by an erroneous dimension in the line itself or by an erroneous dimension of a different line in the traverse.

You can modify how and when erroneous lines are highlighted in the traverse grid by editing registry settings.
