This lesson shows you how to take full advantage of that concept by creating smart, efficient drawings using Traverse Drawing Settings — no CAD experience required.

Using the Learn Drawing Traverses sample survey, you’ll see exactly how TPC turns your traverses into professional drawings automatically. From tagging traverses to adjusting line types, setbacks, and adding your final touches, this course walks you through a complete drawing workflow that’s built around the power of traverses.

You’ll learn how to:

• Tag the traverses you want to include in a drawing

• Use Traverse Drawing Settings to control line types, colors, point symbols, labels, and more

• Add smart drawing objects like leaders and setbacks — without scripting or CAD tools

• Customize individual drawing objects and add final elements like legends, photos, and text

• Organize your work with Traverse Groups to streamline surfaces, reports, and drawings

• Create reusable drawing templates to apply to future projects in seconds

We’ll also compare tagging to CAD layers and explain how TPC’s approach is simpler and more effective for survey drawings. 

Finally, you’ll explore the power of Traverse Properties, including the ability to set global defaults and assign smart, automatic setbacks — even across dozens or hundreds of lots. With just a few clicks, you’ll apply consistent setbacks and watch TPC redraw everything instantly.

This course focuses on Drawing Traverses — Quick View™ will be covered in depth in a separate video series, but you’ll get a taste of how it integrates seamlessly into the drawing process here.

Whether you’re working on a single lot or a full subdivision, this lesson shows you how TPC helps you draft faster, smarter, and with more control than ever before.
