Traverses
Traverse Formats :Format the Traverse View they way you want
Traverse Groups :Traverse groups help you organize survey data on the fly
Traverse Manager :Copy and duplicate existing traverses or create new ones
Traverse Settings :Let TPC draw the map for you using our Quick View™ technology
Angle Sets :Use both direct and repeat angle methods
Raw Data :TPC retains the data you enter even after an adjustment - just recompute any time
Closure :One-step closure check
Elevations:Use benchmarks, +/- target heights and any combination of vertical angles, offsets and stadia
Automatic COGO :The things you do all the time, like extending a line, inserting a mid-point, entering a horizontal curve happen almost without thinking about it
Shared Boundaries :Recall points from any other traverse to share a common line
Remote Observations :Shoot as close as you can get and enter perpendicular, linear, angular or vertical offsets
Insert Points :Insert points by point label range, proximity, description, etc

COGO
Standards: All your favorites like intersect, rotate and translate and random inverse.
Corner Offsets :One-step offsets for building corners
Lot Setbacks : One-step lot setbacks
Offsets to Line or Curve :Compute the cardinal or perpendicular offset of any point to a line or curve
Multiple Points : One-step fill in points along a curb line with interplated elevations
Visible COGO: Instantly plot any COGO point then watch it update automatically as you adjust the COGO data
Multi-level Undo : Create new COGO points or update existing points and if it doesn't do what you want - Undo it.
Equation Parsing : Enter 10..11/2 to recall half the distance from point 10 to 11 or enter 10..11+90 to recall the bearing from point 10 to 11 and add 90° to it. No need for a calculator here
Summary Button : Add COGO results to a report for a record of what you did then add your own notes
COGO Graphics : One button generates a drawing showing the COGO results so you pick the points you want
Predictive Data : Start typing the point label and TPC displays matching points so you can pick the one you want
Graphical Selection: Pick points and lines directly from any drawing and TPC fills in the COGO data

Centerlines
Horizontal Curves : Create curves from any data
Spiral Curves: Enter any combination of tangents, spirals (balanced or unbalanced) and curves,
Cul-de-sacs:Enter cul-de-sacs even with delta > 180°
PI Tangents : PI curves / spirals insert alignment points and update on the fly
Stations :Insert stations / equations along any alignment
Stations / Offsets : Locate and stakeout points by station / offset just like you do with coordinates
Centerline Offsets :Create centerline offsets
Curve Fitting :Computes best-fit radius
Multiple Points on Grade:Creates points along a grade at specific intervals (every 2', 5', etc)
Find Station / Offset:Find the station / offset of any point to any alignment
Drawing Labels :Label curves, spirals and tangents the way you want

Adjustments
Coordinates: Choose from Compass, Transit or Crandall methods or use Least Squares Traverse
Precision: Recompute any traverse, closure and area based on separate distance and direction precisions
Apply Factors: AppJanuary 11, 2013 Undo: Undo any adjustment and start over
Adjustment Details: Report the adjustment for each point

Files
Data Collectors : Import / export from all the popular data collectors, total stations and GPS
Coordinates: Import / export coordinates and geodetic positions
Raw Data : Import / export raw data CSV files
CAD :Open any DWG, DXF or DGN file
PDF :Save any drawing or report as a PDF
Pictures:Import background photos or vicinity maps in JPG, TIF, GIF, BMP, ICO, PNG, etc
Shape Files :Import / export shapes
Direct Connection :Import / export files or connect directly to device

Drawings
Templates :Save any drawing as a template or choose one that ships with TPC
Drawing Manager :Organize your drawings in groups, just like traverses
Page Layout :You always work on a sheet of paper
Associative Data:Data association isn't an after-thought in TPC because the drawings are built from the data
Geodetic Drawings:Use geodetic distance, direction and area for all drawing labels

Quick View™ Technology
Traverse Settings :They do 90% of a drawing for you
Surface Settings :Choose the line types, colors, symbols and layers you want for each surface
Tags:Tag any traverse or surface you want to include
Layers:They're here when you need them, but you won't
Smart Drawing Objects:Update themselves automatically as survey data changes
Object Library :Choose from hundreds of symbols, line types, templates and blocks or make your own
Format Bar :You always know what attributes TPC will use for the next object
Snapping :For when you need to be exact in your drawing
Dynamic Offsets :They update the distance automatically as you re-position the house on the lot
Lot Labels :One-step lot labels with area
Hatching :Choose from available hatches and fills
Groups :They work like ad-hoc blocks only better
Alignment :Select drawing objects and let TPC align and space them perfectly
Drawing Commands :When you need them, you'll find all the drawings commands you ever wanted

General
Legal Description :Turn any traverse into a legal description
Spell Check :Spell check any report or drawing
Plat Checking :Create lots from CAD lines, legal descriptions
Search / Replace :Update point labels and descriptions
