4. Check

the

Store Pt 1

checkbox and specify a point number in the

same field if you want the endpoint of the computed line to be
stored.

5. Enter the direction of the left side of the boundary in the last

field. In this example, you should use the power button,

and

select

Choose from map…

and then tap points 2 and 1. The

direction from point 2 to point 1 will then be automatically
entered in the last field.

6. Tap

6ROYH. The final boundary side will be computed and the

data can be viewed by using the

Results

and

Map

tabs. If you

selected to store a point in Step 4, the computed point will also be
stored (Point 8 in the illustration shown here).

Parallel Method

The Parallel Method computes the location of one side of a four-sided
boundary where the computed side is parallel to a stationary side of
the boundary.

Using the same lot as we used above, we will compute the location of
a line in a 1/3-acre boundary that is parallel to line 2-3 and intersects
with line 2-1 and 3-4 as shown here.

1. Tap

&RJR , 3UHGHWHUPLQHG $UHD from the Main Menu.

2. In the upper-left corner, enter the desired

area (1/3 acre in this example) and select
the

Parallel

radio button.

3. Enter the first point that defines the fixed

side of your four-sided boundary in the

Point 1

field and the second point in the

Point 2

field. (The computed side will be

parallel to the line between these points.)

4. Define the directions of the two sides of

the boundary that will intersect with the
endpoints of the computed line. For this
example, you would tap the power button,

associated with each direction, select

Choose From Map…

and

then tap points 2 and 1 for the first direction, and 3 and 4 for the
second direction.
