An alphabetical list of COGO commands and AMLs
AMLs are listed in lowercase. Commands can be abbreviated using only the
capitol letters (i.e. AddCogoPoints would be acp)

attributes or a COGO point coverage.

cul-de-sac off of centerlines.

placed between two points, or a parallel curve
to be created from an existing curve.

points.
cutoff divides a parcel by a specified area.
D
DeleteCogoPoints allow you to delete COGO points from the
COGO point coverage.

environment and specifies the marker sysmbol
COGO points will be drawn with.
DRAWTRAVERSES ** draws polygon traverses from a COGO arc
coverage.
DROPPERPENDICULAR finds the point on a line or curve perpendicular
to a selected point.
E
ELLIPSE allows a right or left ellipse curve defined by
given curve parameters to be constructed.
envrst an AML that restores the settings saved for
CONSTANTS, FORMAT, SEARCH, and
SEARCHORDER from a specified file.
envsav an AML that saves the current settings for
CONSTANTS, FORMAT, SEARCH, and
SEARCHORDER to a specified file.
eval an AML that allows you to preform calculations
inside of ARCEDIT and have the results
returned to the keyboard.
F
FDConvert * converts survey data collector raw observation
files in ASCII format into ESRI Generic
Fielddata Format files.
FieldData * converts ESRI Generic Fielddata Format files
into point, survey and/or line coverages, as
well as interactive input of survey commands
unique to FIELDDATA.
FILLET constructs a circular curve tangential to two
lines.
FORMAT sets the format for displaying and storing
directions and distances. Directions can be in
the form of bearings or angles and distances can
have 0 to 10 decimal places.
I
INVERSE displays the geometry and attributes associated
with a line, curve, spiral, or two points.
Additionally, the angle defined by three points
or the coordinates of a point can be displayed.
J
join an AML that allows you to interactively enter
the side lot lines when the front and rear lines
have already been established by TRAVERSE,
BREAKLINE, or PROPORTION.
L
LAYOUT adds an arc from a specified starting point to a
point defined by the direction and distance,
tangent to another arc and distance, or field
angle and distance.
Line2pt constructs a two-point line using two specified
points.
listatt an AML that lists the COGO attributes for
selected arcs.
LISTTRAVERSES lists a traverse closure for each polygon in a
COGO arc coverage.
LOCATE finds the intersection of any combination of two
angles, bearings, or distances.
LOTAREA * computes the legal area, legal perimeter and
closure error for lots in a polygon coverage
using the standard COGO attributes.
M
MERGE combines selected arcs with the same direction
and selected curves with the same radius.
multcurve an AML that allows you to enter a number of
curves of the same type.
multinv an AML that repeats execution of the INVERSE
command for a specified feature type.
multprop an AML that repeats the PROPORTION
command.
O
OFFSET generates points at a specified distance and
perpendicular offset from a line.
+OOPS will undo any change made to features in the
current COGO arc coverage and to COGO points
in the COGO point coverage.
P
pan an AML used to preform software panning
across the map extent.
PROPORTION breaks a line or curve into a number of arcs
according to the keyed-in lengths. The
DISTANCE option proportions the new arcs
between two points.
R
RemoveCogoPointCover removes the COGO point coverage from the
current session.
RenameCogoPoint changes the number of a COGO point.
REPORT generates an informational listing about an
area, point, curve, or triangle.
RESECT locates a point by three-point resection.
S
+SAVE saves changes made to a COGO arc coverage or
COGO point coverage back into the same coverage
or into a new, empty coverage.
SEARCH activates or inhibits searching when identifying
points for the COGO commands in ARCEDIT.
SearchOrder sets the correction angle by selected reference
line.
+setreference sets the correction angle by a selected reference
line.
SHOW lists the characteristics of COGO environments
and the values of traverses and proportions.
showconstants an AML that displays the correction angle and
scale factor set by CONSTANTS. The correction
angle is displayed as a polar angle in the
current angle format.
SPIRAL allows a right or left spiral curve defined by
given curve parameters to be constructed.
STATIONING locates station points at a specified interval
along selected arcs or lines defined by points.
COGO points are used as station points and can
be renamed to reflect station chainages.

modified by the current settings of FORMAT
and CONSTANTS.
T
TANGENT calculates points of tangency for a curve and a
known reference point or for two curves.
TRAVERSE allows traverses to be entered, edited, adjusted,
unadjusted, deleted and displayed.

stored in a specified file.
travsav an AML that saves the current traverse data to
a specified file.
TRILATERATE locates a point by three-point trilateration.

file and redraws the graphic display
accordingly.

the DRAW command to a file.
W
WIDEN constructs a set of lines and curves
geometrically parallel to the selected arcs or
points and the specified perpendicular offset.
