How to draw up arc's using bearings


Recommended Posts

Posted

I know how to draw up a straight line in this format example:

But what if its an arc, how do I do that? I have the bearing for the arc

So you have no other information than that to work with?

 

The arc is a simple curve is it not? If so it should have a central angle, tangent, radius and chord length (i.e. - curve data).

" Arc=45d41'30"8571 "

 

Those figures look like no other that I have seen.

 

The 45d41'30" looks like an angle, and I would assume it to be the central angle, but the other figures 8571 might be a telephone number.

 

More information required. :shock:

I know that a line can have a bearing but an arc? I'll have to dig out my surveying book; it's been a while.

An arc has a start and end pt does this equal the angle between them and the 8571 is the distance but your still missing the radius !
