Custom / Bowditch Misclosure Report
One or more selected lines.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Unique Id | The lines unique identifier. |
| Layer | The layer the line is on. |
| Total Length | Total length of the unadjusted line. |
| Misclosure Ratio | The proportional relationship between the linear misclosure and the length of the line. |
| Misclosure Bearing | The direction of the misclosure from the end of the line to the start of the line. |
| Misclosure Distance | The linear misclosure. |
| Adjusted Area | The area enclosed by the line if the misclosure was to be adjusted using the Bowditch method. |
- Generate the report to compute a misclosure on lines in the current selection. Line segments and the vertices coordinates are not adjusted in the project.
- Lines must be at least 3 segments to be included in the report.
- Chord bearing and distance will be used for circular arcs line segments. The adjusted area will include the circular arc segment area.
- The report displays in a report tab in the work area.
- Configure the distance in the Unit Options to specify if the Bowditch computations are performed using grid, ground, ellipsoid or local plane distances.
- To save the report, click the report tab to make it the active view, then click
. - Lines with splines or transition curves will not be included in the report.
- Lines containing a 2D circular arc segment that are displayed using a 3D User Coordinate System will not be included in the report.
- Discontinuous lines will not be included in the report.
