Annotate bearings and distances

Tom Krowka — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 20:18:09 GMT

Is there any way I can annotate survey bearings and distances automatically by selecting the line. It seems like it should be a gimme, but I can't find anything that would do it for me. Seems like it should be a dimension choice...but maybe not.

I have several irregular properties I need to input; I'd like to check bearings and distance as I go. They show up on the tracker when input the data, but I want to annotate and verify at the same time.

Thanks. Tom

That looks just right. Except there is no way to download it......that I can see.

You have to download it from within ArchiCAD. The Object Tool will let you search BIM Components portal. Enter "Property" as a search criterion, and it will come up.

It is not very clear but drag t he arrow icon in BIMComponents to your open Archicad application.

Or as Richard said in your objects settings just do a search and Archicad should check BIMComponents automatically and you can download it through the object settings dialogue.
