Create Lot
Lines- |
This function allows the user to create a lot from a
closed lightweight polyline. It is useful for lots
that have been
created without using Land Planner Suite. Using this function will allow
the user
to use the lot numbering and area labeling functions included in
Land Planner Suite on 'hand-drawn'
lots.
The function will prompt the user to select the New
Lot. This entity should be a closed, lightweight-
polyline. If
another entity type is selected, the user will be alerted and the function will
exit.
The user will then be prompted to select the Unit Type to assign to the new Lot.

If no Unit Types are present in the drawing, the user
will be alerted and the function will exit. Unit Types must
then
be created or imported before the function can be
used.
The function will then insert and populated the Land
Planner Suite lot data block. This block will have the
lot area, unit
type, unit number, lot number, phase and
pod number, etc, along with other data
needed
by other Land Planner Suite functions such as Add Lot Numbers and Add Lot Area Labels.
The function will also draw the setback lines for the
new lot. In order to do this, the function must
ascertain the correct
setback distances for each segment of the lot polyline.

At each vertex of the lot
polyline, the user will be asked to enter the setback type for the
line
indicated by the arrow

The allowable inputs are F,S,C,R (indicating
Front, standard Side, Corner
side, and Rear, respectively)
(The distance values
corresponding to these types are set in the Unit
Manager). After the type
data
is entered at each vertex, the function will draw the setback
line. Should the user not wish to draw
the setback line,
hitting ESC or CTRL-C will cancel the
command.
