TractBuilder has made creating data easy with its Tools for ArcGIS, and now it is even easier with the Auto-Quartering Tool. For the first time, a simple spreadsheet containing Township-Range-Section information and a legal description can be used to create polygons. “We like making people’s lives easier,” Kyle Souza, Sales Manager for TractBuilder, “that’s why our drafting tools for Metes & Bounds and Aliquots have been so popular, they are just so easy-to-use.
