Fast, easy legal descriptions with Legal-Aid™

Creating legal descriptions with Legal-Aid is really quite simple. The boundary information and corner descriptions are all entered from within AutoCAD. In general, the entire process involves only three steps. Legal-Aid can also create legal descriptions from a DXF file.

Data Entry Highlights

• Boundary information can be entered by selecting any combination of lines, arcs and polylines.
• Boundary information can be entered using object snaps such as EndPoint or Intersection snaps. All object snap modes are supported.
• Boundary can be entered by selecting a Civil 3D parcel object (Legal-Aid 2007 and above).
• Lines or curves extending beyond the parcel boundary do not need to be broken for data entry. (Endpoint and intersection snaps are great for this.)
• Boundary information is automatically checked for proper order and continuity before processing.
• Supports curves greater than 180°, non-tangent, compound and reverse curves. No special handling is required.
• Supports calls along an line.
• Supports calls along an arc.
• Supports open and closed traverses.
• Lot corner descriptions are entered while still in AutoCAD... not later.
• Lot corner descriptions can be typed in, or picked from text entities in your drawing.
• Fast processing and response. Legal-Aid only uses 10 lines of AutoLisp code. The main Legal-Aid program is a fully compiled EXE using current object oriented, COM, and ActiveX technologies.
