This is all normal stuff in western Mass. Most of the deeds were written by the landowners. They cut out a lot here and there, and the distances cou...

It depends what program you have set as your default for a dwg. If I double-click on a dwg, it opens in Carlson Survey, the way it should be 😉 Oth...

@jitterboogie Well, yeah, but if a residential buyer decides to have a survey done, many times discouraged by realtors, and a boundary issue is disc...

@jitterboogie I don't think it was an attack, more like a realistic observation. Which I think he hit right on. Realtors, for the most part, don't...

I'd probably have a stroke if someone offered me 100K let alone 150-200K. No, I don't make $150-200k. But any LS within a 100 mile radius of me sh...

Every project? Only Registered land, which is a small percentage of properties in Mass. I haven't done a Land Court survey in a while, but I can r...

If mid six figures as a PLS isn't common (+50% in urban areas), then this profession will struggle to fill the ranks. Unfortunately, I still see p...

Since they sound like a regular client, why not just make a drawing template and F2F file just for their projects? A few hours investment in doing thi...

If the streets and easements are public, they should be shown, even if all of the 507 lots are in common ownership. Was this company just too lazy to...

I don't know how it works in Intellicad, but in Carlson with autocad the easy way is to go to View, Twist Screen and Line or polyline and pick the li...

Why do hand drafted plats look so good? I agree that some of the older hand-drafted plats look beautiful, real artwork there. But some just look l...

If you've been using C3D, I think that Carlson lets you import your description key file. At least they used to have that as an option. Is ther...

@rover83 Wow. I'm seeing a woman who grew up there, and she just told me about that library a few weeks ago. Maybe need to work on my listening sk...

Aren't the county boundaries coincident with the outer town boundaries? They don't run through the middle of towns, at least not that I'm aware of I'...

Glad you found one. I have two of these units, and although I don't use them any more, I'm not at the point where I'd part with them yet. Well, mayb...
