I don't get the question in the context of a retracement. It's clear that the deeds get put together on the ground. The plans may or may not follow th...

That's a good question, I assumed from the OP's original post that it's a DOT project, but if it's a private survey for an adjoiner then the answer is...

It is annoying to pay each year for a program that doesn't change in any appreciable way. TBC and Auto-cad do "upgrade", however, I still have Auto-ca...
