Legal Description Tools?

Question

I'm using V8i Select Series 3 and I'm in need of a tool to create legal descriptions. I'm looking for something similar to "Q-Legal" that works for ACAD Civil 3D. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. Although I don't have any practical experience with legal descriptions, I have been playing around with the function in InRoads. They are placed under the tools -> XML reports ->geometry... report function. After you have selected your alignment and applied the settings, your report browser opens in the default geometry report view. On the left pane you should see a folder named Legal... The reports are based on a css-like stylesheet named *.xsl, so it should be quite straightforward to customize the templates to your needs.
