      • Click on the E to change the call to W.
      • Click on Call 1 to change to a reference call (notated by an asterisk *).
      • Click on the Type to change the call from a line to a curve.
        • Enter Basic, Chord, or Tangent information.

  • To use AI to plot a deed:
    • Select the AI Autofill icon.
    • Paste in the PLSS based metes and bounds description.
    • Click Run
    • Allow 30-90 seconds for the text to be processed and then check the accuracy of the plotted points. Need to make changes? You can easily update the calls by referencing the description above on manually plotting deeds.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Edit the point of beginning by clicking the Pencil icon and selecting a new point on the map.
  • Manually rearrange calls by clicking and dragging.
  • If the legal description does not describe the final call in angle/distance, select the Finish option to complete the boundary.
