Boundary plat drawings form legal land records. A minor mapping error can trigger costly disputes, building construction variances, or property litigation.
At ArcusCAD, our Quality Control team audits every drawing. We have identified several recurring drafting errors that land surveyors must watch for.
Common CAD Drafting Boundary Errors:
- Closure Errors: Boundary lines must meet mathematically. A tiny bearing error can cause closure issues. We run checks to verify closures.
- Incorrect Easement Scaling: Plotting easements on the wrong side of property lines or misinterpreting deed offsets can cause building encroachments.
- Incorrect Labeling Formats: Different counties require specific annotation styles for dimensions, angles, and monument markers. Using a generic style risks recording rejections.
Quality Control checklist:
ArcusCAD avoids these issues by implementing a double-stage review checklist. A senior surveyor inspects all sheets against standard county recording statutes before final export.
