Summary

The GT_BRGROUND command in GeoTools is designed to round off bearing values to a specified precision, ensuring consistent and precise angular measurements in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander

GeoTool -> Geological/Mining Tools -> General -> Round off bearings

Key Features Include:

• Bearing Format Compatibility:
  • Supports various common bearing representations, such as:
    • Degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) (e.g., 149° 49′ 32″)
    • Decimal degrees (e.g., 50-23-24)
    • Directional bearings (e.g., N 149° 41′ 27″ E)
    • Survey-style notations (e.g., S 85d27′ E)
• Precision Control:
  • Rounds off only the seconds part of the bearing.
  • Users can define the precision in seconds for rounding (e.g., rounding to the nearest 5, 10, or 15 seconds).
• Ensures Standardized Bearings:
  • Eliminates minor discrepancies in survey and mapping data.
  • Improves readability and consistency for engineering and cadastral applications.

Benefits:

This tool is highly beneficial for surveyors, GIS professionals, and civil engineers who require accurate bearing representation and rounding in their CAD drawings.
