I have a 3 lot subdivision to survey tomorrow.
1) For some reason the front corners are set at a 20' offset from the road r/w
2) I input the record boundary and at the front I draw a 20'radius circle at each front lot corner.
3) I use points to pick the corners and the intersections of the circles/lines for the offset irons
4) I use twist view to get a plot, use twist point attributes to make my point numbers look good and notice that the points at the circle/line intersections appear to have moved during the twist point command. Just the ones at the intersections. I regen, same thing.
5) A quick inquiry by brg/dist shows that they did indeed move. Each a different dist and at a different bearing.
6) I did it all over with the same result.
WTF, That's scary.
File is on the way to Carlson for a look.

twist view, ugh.... I so rarely use that...
But, I have a question for you. A few years ago you mentioned some pants form a tactical supplier out west. Well I bought a couple of their pants but now that those have gotten a little to dirty (even for this ol' surveyor) and I want more and I can't recall the name! Care to share again?
As for the twist issue, which twist did you choose?
Some twists will turn about a point, and others may rotate the view...
try reinserting your points from the coordinate file

Dave Karoly, turned me on to these. Get the Olive Green and they do not show the stains from walking thru brush.
Sorry, I stay away from doing that to points, makes me nervous.
Hi
I had some strange issues last week with offsetting a pline in our Local survey software that runs inside Acad ... seems that the the Osnap settings were on and the offsets were not at the specified distance but they snapped to the nearest available point within snap range.
Just a wild guess ...
