Metes and Bounds 5.1.1

Calculates square feet and acreage!

Metes and Bounds is a software that can create plot maps, perform calculations in square feets, acres, hectares, perimeter distance and more.

The Drawing Wizard is an optional way to start a new drawing. It will ask you several questions about what type of drawing you plan on creating. Based on your answers to these questions, the wizard will preset some of the drawing values to help you accomplish your goals.

Using the wizard does not lock you into a particular workflow, it only presets a few options. You can always change any of the drawing options to better suit your needs.

Simple:
This option is optimized for working with a single layer. It will keep the drawing centered in the middle of your screen. It is very similar to the blank drawing that you get when you do not use the wizard.


Complex:
This option is optimized for working with multiple layers/plots/tracts in a single drawing. It also provides the option of using a scaled background image, such as a section or topographical map.


Section:
This option will start your drawing using the Section Finder. It allows for easy entry of section calls such as "The northwest quarter of the southeast quarter".

Lat / Long:
This option will start your drawing using the Lat/Long to Layer tool. Use this option to turn a list of Lat/Long coordinates into a series of metes and bounds calls.
