 Introduction

This command found within MapWorks is a CAD-based deed reader tool is used to parse legal description text from a document or the contents of the clipboard.

It then instantly populates the table on the right pane with the bearings, distances and curve information from the text on the left. If the contents of the grid is satisfactory a single click draws the boundary as a polyline (with curves included) in your CAD engine.
