I suspect that you're not the one with the errors, but whoever gave you the coordinates are.Whenever I see the term "Modified State Plane", I get the ...
Why are water meters on a plat in the first place? That's an engineering thing, that you might expect to see on a Development Plan or other constructi...

We include a line in our proposal that says we MUST be given the electronic CAD drawings, or the price will increase. So far, that seems to work.Befo...
Must be a slow day...? Otherwise, why worry about such an issue (although I gather it's a matter of law in Hawaii, for some obscure reason).I persona...

OK, you have the chain...But do you know how to throw it...? 🙂 (And then, of course, how to wrap it back up so you can throw it again...?)
Exactly. "Save As" is virtually useless in C3D.You can export to earlier releases, destroying all your civil data, and combine that as best you can w...
MapsOne of the thing we run into around here is that we MUST file surveys like this on mylar, so they can be scanned into the local system. So we hav...

Most records require "ground distances". So in most locations (unless you are very close to sea-level), you can't survey in grid systems like State P...
