   Draw a circle with the given radius.

Draw a line from the center of the circle to the easterly quadrant of the circle.

Draw a second line using the direct distance entry method (at the command line) as follows...

@694.26'<19d21'33"

Trim the circle leaving the arc between the two lines you drew intact.  That's your curve.  Now go do it for your property map.

	uploads/175428/CURVE01_A.dwg Hello John, please tell me ( us ) if it's ok because it's also not too much easy for me ( including the barrier of the language and units of course ).

	That's a typical horizontal curve which anyone familiar with basic math should know how to construct. You have all the information you need (angle and radius) plus some extra (arc length and chord). Try an Internet search for "horizontal curve" and you'll see how one is constructed. Remember that your radius has to be perpendicular to the property lines on either side of the curve.

An arc length of of 234.58 feet and a chord that bears north 35d29'19"" I dont know what to do with that information so that it will draw it the correct arc.....PLEASE HELP Edited by jbaylie - 29.Mar.2013 at 01:14
