Is anyone aware of a stand along legal description writer? I am looking for something that does not have to run inside of a CAD program.
Something similar to Legal Holiday for those of you who remember that program.
Since the point of these things is usually to turn a drafted figure into words I think that the list is going to be short. I'm not familiar with "Legal Holiday" or how it worked.
How about setting up some macros in Word?
I see Michael Stone below is looking for a job, maybe he can write legal descritions outside of the CAD platform.;-)
Sorry, I couln't resist. No, I don't know of any softwares that do that.
Check out Greenbriar Graphics. They make deed plotter plus.
Also check out the software at AGT.
Legal Holiday was an 80's era DOS program. It allowed you to build a template of how you wanted your description to be written. You could then enter your point ID's from a text file with coordinates and the program would use the coordinates and your template to create a complete legal description along with a closure report.
I still have a copy of it but the downside is that it uses a printer port dongle and I don't have any more computers with a printer port. I am working on a USB to printer port adapter but I have yet to find one that will recognize the dongle.
Probably something could be worked out along those lines with excel.
