Prior to preparing a Quadrant Bearing version of FreeCOGO I need your advice.
How is title survey data shown on cadastral plans in your state?

What rounding, if any, do you apply to data on plans?

As an example, in the State of Victoria, Australia the following apply:-
(Metric)
Lengths in Metres
Less than 500 metres - Correct to the nearest 0.01 metre, except where circumstances require greater precision,then correct to the nearest 0.005 metre
500 metres and up to 5000 metres - Correct to the nearest 0.01 metre
Over 5000 metres - Correct to the nearest 0.1 metre

Bearings of Lengths
Less than 30 metres - Correct to the nearest minute of arc
Over 30 metres - Correct to the nearest 10 seconds of arc

Areas
Less than 100 square metres - Square metres - Correct to the nearest 0.1 square metre
100 square metres and less than 1 hectare - Square metres - Correct to the nearest square metre
1 hectare and up to 10 000 hectares - Hectares - Correct to four significant figures
Over 10 000 hectares - Square kilometres - Correct to four significant figures

What data do you show on arcs on survey plans?
In Victoria we show:-

Radius
------- (Bdy)
Arc length
Chord distance
Chord bearing

Do you also show Arc (Delta) angle?

Thanks in advance.

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
