CADSite Polygons

This module is designed to draw, edit, annotate, join and subdivide polygons inside AutoCAD and is comprised of the following tools:

• Global boundary polygon. With this tool you can create closed polylines from a selection of lines, arcs and/or polylines. This is useful if, for example, you have a parcel subdivision drawn with lines and arcs and you need to create a closed polyline for each subdivision. Instead of drawing each polyline manually with AutoCAD commands, this tool creates them automatically for you.
• Draw and adjust polygon. This tool is useful if you need to reconstruct a polygon from legal documentation or from surveying information. You can dynamically draw a polygon specifying distance and bearing, azimuth, XY coordinates or deflection. You can import XY coordinate information from an existing text file or import information selecting an existing polyline in the drawing. The polygon error of closure can be adjusted using the Compass or Transit Rule or by the Crandall Method and an Excel compatible Traverse Adjustment Report can be generated. Point numbers are automatically annotated.
• Change polygon starting point, selecting a closed polyline vertex to set as the new polyline starting point.
• Insert polygon vertex, by selecting a point on a polyline segment.
• Delete polygon vertex, by selecting a polyline segment endpoint.
• Change polygon rotation, to clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
• Reverse polygon, from clockwise to counterclockwise direction or vice versa.
• Join polygon, selecting two or more adjacent closed polylines.
• Divide polygon, by selecting a closed polyline, a slicing line and a subdivision method such as by equal parts, percentage or target subarea, by offsetting the slicing line, or by specifying number of segments or distance along a path.
• Weed polygon vertices, to remove collinear vertices from polylines specifying a minimum deflection angle.
• Annotate polygon. Automatically annotate distance and bearing in polyline segments, arc length, chord, radius, tangent and central angle in polyline arc segments. Polyline area and perimeter can also be annotated. Prefix, suffix, decimal places and text settings such as text size, layer, color, style and font can be specified.
• Annotate angles. Place interior or exterior angular dimensions in each polygon vertex. Layer and color for the dimension line and text can be specified. Style, font and decimal places can be specified for the angular text annotation. Dimension text location and angle can be also specified and the annotation angle command can be automatically repeated when finished to select additional vertices.
• Invert bearing. Change bearing annotations N,S,E,W to their opposites S,N,W,E respectively, e.g.: S 105°12'32" W to N 105°12'32" E
• Flip annotation. Rotate selected text annotation 180 degrees by its center point.
• Swap annotation. Interchange position between two selected text entities.

Some, but not all, of the tasks that you can do with CADSite Polygons include the following:

• Reconstruct a polygon from legal documentation or from surveying information specifying distance and bearing, azimuth, XY coordinates or deflection.
• Import XY coordinate information from an existing text file to draw a polygon.
• Adjust a polygon error of closure using the Compass or Transit Rule or by the Crandall Method and create an Excel compatible Traverse Adjustment Report.
• Annotate distance and bearing , arc length, chord, radius, tangent and central angle in polyline segments.
• Annotate polyline area and perimeter.
• Join adjacent closed polylines.
• Create a parcel subdivision by equal parts, percentage or target subarea, by specifying number of segments or distance along a path or by selecting a slicing line.
• Place interior or exterior angular dimensions in each polygon vertex.
• Remove collinear vertices from polylines specifying a minimum deflection angle.
• Insert or delete a polygon vertex.
• Change polygon rotation.
