There are three names 'entities' that make up the Tract Manager:

• Tracts
• Tract Types
• Land Use Summaries

In Tract Manager, a Tract is a parcel or a group of parcels that will be considered a single entity for reporting.
Each Tract must be of one (and only one) Tract Type.  Tracts must also be named.

A Tract Type is a listing that defines how tracts are displayed in the Autocad drawings.  Tract Types
are where the hatch pattern, hatch color, hatch scale, tract boundary and tract fill layers are set. In a
drawing file, there can be many Tract Types (such as 'wetlands', 'open space',  'Large Lots', 'Creek Buffer',
etc).  But each Tract can be of only one Tract Type.  For example,  there may be several areas of
jurisdictional wetlands on a development site, so in Tract Manager, we would define a Tract Type
called "WETLANDS".  It might have the setting shown below.

We could then define a Tract for each of the individual areas of wetland  and all them Wetland1, Wetland2 and Wetland3
as shown below. Or we could define one Tract that included all three wetland areas and call it AllWetlands.
Or we could have both. 

We could also build Tract Types for "SEASONAL WETLANDS", "SUSPECT WETLANDS", "SWAMPS", etc.  And then
use those Tract Types to create as many Tracts as needed in the current project.

A Land Use Summary  is a user-defined report for Tracts.  A Land Use Summary includes only the properties
that the user desires and in the order in which the user desires.  A drawing file can contain as many Summaries
as needed.  The summaries can be previewed, inserted into the drawing as text entities, exported to an ASCII
text file or exported to an Excel spreadsheet (if Excel is installed on the computer).
