Skip the retyping
Schedule A, every Schedule B exception, and the full Schedule C legal description land in AutoCAD paperspace as MTEXT — verbatim — without anyone keying it in.
Who Uses ALTA-Plot
Built for the professionals who prepare and commission ALTA surveys.
ALTA-Plot automates office work inside a surveying firm — document retrieval, exception classification, legal description parsing, and CAD output. The same pipeline benefits developers, attorneys, engineers, and title professionals who order or coordinate the survey.
For Surveying Offices
What gets done before you open the drawing
Everything below runs automatically on upload — document retrieval, classification, plotting, and CAD output — in a single pass.
All linework, plotted in one pass
Every plottable description is sent to Legal-Plot and resulting linework is dropped into modelspace.
Exception documents collected for you
Every linked and referenced exception document is downloaded, OCR'd if scanned, and stored on the project before you open the drawing.
Review before you spend a credit
See which exceptions contain a plottable description and what the run will cost before anything is sent.
Drops into your title block
Upload a firm DWG template once and every export lands inside your border, on your layers, in your text styles.
Multiple deliverables from one upload
DWG, KML, GeoJSON, geo-located closure reports, and a single project ZIP come from the same project.
For the ALTA Survey Transaction
Professionals who commission or coordinate ALTA surveys
Developers order them, attorneys review them, engineers use linework, and title officers coordinate the process. ALTA-Plot gives each earlier access to the data.
Real estate attorneys
Attorneys can track document retrieval, review classified exceptions, and give clients geo-referenced KML files that make title language easier to explain.
Land developers
Developers receive exception linework in DWG and GeoJSON before the surveyor begins drafting, useful for early site planning and lender submissions.
Civil engineers and planners
Pull parsed exception linework into ArcGIS, QGIS, Civil 3D, or AutoCAD as a reference layer once the commitment is processed.
Title and escrow professionals
Title officers can monitor retrieval and classification in real time and deliver a geo-referenced exception package with the written commitment.
A drafting and visualization tool — not a surveying service
ALTA-Plot does not perform land surveying, boundary determination, or work that requires a professional surveyor's license. For surveying offices it is a drafting starter; for everyone else, a visualization aid based on uploaded documents.
