Over the years, while I have been drafting I have wanted to have an easy way to quickly and easily access information that is connected to the APN (Assessor’s Parcel Number) from within CAD. As a result of this, I have come up with the Clark County Nevada APN Utilities. This little program is aimed at making it easier for drafter to access parcel information from text entities within AutoCAD. All features use the default Internet browser to obtain information. Below is a list of features:
- Quickly open an APN map from the Clark County Assessor’s Office just by selecting text, along with
- Soils maps
- Expanded soil maps
- Perform parcel document searches
- Obtain parcel information (From Clark County OpenWeb Info Mapper)
- Obtain parcel aerial imagery (From Clark County OpenWeb Info Mapper)
- Obtain extended parcel data from the county assessor
- Perform flood zone inquiries using the FloodView Advanced as provided by the Clark County Regional Flood Control District
To download the files, download the CC_APN_Utils.zip file from the ‘Box’ on the left hand side.
Files included are:
- CC_APN.LSP
- ReadMe.txt
Routine Description & Installation Instructions:
The Clark County APN Utilities program is designed to allow for a drafter to easily access local Clark County Assessor information from text entities within an AutoCAD drawing.
To use Clark County APN Utilities from within AutoCAD, extract the CC_APN.LSP file to one of your local support directories, and then type APN on the command line. To select the item that you are trying to retrieve, you can either use the designated numbers or the first word of each item that is listed.
Known Issues / Bugs:
- MText that has been formatted to contain multiple text styles does not work properly – (Issue being resolved.)
- Text must be formatted in the following format (as requested from local entities) – APN: ###-##-###-###
- Note: Color and height formatting do not cause the program to crash.
