Q-Legal 6.20 for Word

Q-Legal is a fast, easy to use, prompt driven legal description writer which imports existing Parcels/Lots (or figure/polyline data) from Softdesk or Land Desktop into Word. 

Q-Legal produces descriptions that are 80-90% complete within 1 to 2 minutes with absolute accuracy. 

Q-Legal eliminates typing mistakes and closure errors by importing data directly from your defined parcels.

Q-Legal also provides user-customizable prompts for site-specific data and can be used by any member of your company. Any draftsman, technician or office staff member can import the parcels and write the descriptions with minimal input and no knowledge of AutoCAD or Word is necessary. 

If a draftsman with no survey experience defines the parcels a Surveyor can change the POB and even correct a counter-clockwise lot all outside of AutoCAD.

Launch Word and run Q-Legal from inside (or run it totally outside of) Land Desktop. Create, customize and save multiple headers, footers and curve templates on the fly. 

Show tangency/non-tangency, reverse/compound curvature, radius, arc length, tangent length, direction of curve, central angle, chord bearing and distance and/or 2 radial bearings (P.C. to radius and radius to P.T.).  Also you can now use different curve templates for tangent and non-tangent curves... 

Set and save your own verbiage preferences, quickly create your own user prompts. Q-Legal even has a built in user-customizable phrase library. Add your own often used phrases to a library and insert with a click.

The LDT2i and above versions allow you to select from a list of defined Parcels from within Word without creating any text files.  You can now also change the area and square unit precision and don't have to worry about Parcel settings or inversing.

Toggle between Word and LDT to extract information from drawings by selecting blocks with attributes, text or mtext, eliminating even more redundant typing.
