Working with Layers and Backgrounds

This tutorial will show you how to scale a background image, like a section map, and how to place multiple plots (layers) within the background picture.

Working with Waypoints

This tutorial will show you how to mark a latitude/longitude waypoint within a plot drawing. It also demonstrates working with KML files.

Estimating Layer Overlap

This tutorial will show you how to estimate the area of two overlapping layers. In the process of finding the area of the overlap, we will also create a new layer of the overlap.

Working with Sections and Layers

This tutorial will show you how to create a section drawing and position a plot within it.

Working with Multiple Sections

This tutorial will show you how to create a drawing with multiple sections and how to position plots within those sections. While tutorials #1 and #5 use background pictures to represent section information, this tutorial uses layers to create section information.

Working with Difficult Legal Descriptions

Descriptions with X, Y Coordinates

Merging Layers with Calls

This tutorial shows how to merge two layers into a single layer. It presents two different scenarios to show different techniques for merging layers.

This tutorial shows how to use the Merge Layer - Endpoints tool to create a new layer that subtracts the exception layer from the original layer.

Working with Grid Layers and Township/Range/Sections

This tutorial shows how to use the Grid Layer with Township/Range/Section information. It will draw two different plots into two different sections using T/R/S information.
