XML Report (R3XMLREPORT)

Command: R3XMLREPORT

Generates a human-readable text report from an exported NSW LandXML file. Allows the surveyor to check the exported data against their CAD file without needing to read raw XML.

Usage

  1. Type R3XMLREPORT at the command line
  2. Select the exported XML file in the file dialog
  3. The report opens in a text viewer

Report dialog

  • Monospace font (Consolas) for aligned columns
  • Copy button — copies full report to clipboard
  • Save button — exports as a .txt file

Report sections

Plan Metadata

  • Plan number, description, survey type, format
  • Surveyor name, firm, reference number
  • Administrative areas (LGA, parish, county, locality, survey region)
  • Administrative dates (date of survey, registration date)
  • Purpose of survey
  • Coordinate system (datum, zone)

SCIMS Control Marks

For each mark with a RedHorizontalPosition element:

  • Mark number (oID), point reference
  • Class, order, origin (SCIMS/Traverse), currency date
  • MGA easting and northing

Control Traverse

Observations between SCIMS marks (those with distanceAdoptionFactor):

  • Combined scale factor
  • From/To point references
  • Bearing, distance
  • Distance type (only shown if not "Measured" — e.g. "Compiled")
  • Note: adopted distance survey (e.g. "DP1036570") or field note

Lots / Roads / Easements

For each parcel, grouped by class:

  • Parcel name, description, area (if stated)
  • Part lot indicator
  • Each leg showing:
  • Point references (from → to)
  • Bearing and distance
  • For arcs: chord bearing, chord distance, A (arc length), R (radius to 3dp), rotation (cw/ccw)
  • Dimension suffix [FieldNote] if present

Reference Marks

For each reference mark connection (desc="Reference" observations and desc="Connection" observations where one endpoint has pntSurv="reference"):

  • Monument info: type (DH&W, GIP, Peg, etc.), state (Placed/Found), origin survey, description
  • Connection: RM point → Corner point, bearing, distance, accuracy class

Typical workflow

  1. Prepare plan in R3Survey
  2. Run R3XMLVALIDATE to check for issues
  3. Export with R3EXPORTLANDXMLNSW
  4. Run R3XMLREPORT on the exported file
  5. Check the report against the plan — verify bearings, distances, areas, and reference marks match
