Coordinate Geometry - COGO

Calculate, review, design, and draw with LotPlot's built-in COGO routines. All COGO points can be accessed by name or picked from the screen with the mouse.

COGO Points:

• 16 character, alphanumeric point names
• 64 character point descriptions
• COGO points can be used with nearly all drawing commands.

Bearing and Distance Recall:

Easily retrieve the bearing or distance between two COGO points by simply entering the point names separated by a dash (example: Point1-Point2). You can also apply basic arithmetic to the recalled bearing or distance. Bearing and distance recall can be used with both COGO and CAD commands.

Draw with COGO points:

COGO points can be used with nearly all of the CAD commands in LotPlot. For instance, you can draw lines from point to point just by entering the point names.
