dxli,

Thanks for the offer of assistance. It looks like just scanning the older threads on a keyword search for "survey" that there has been a little interest in the idea here already. That's a good thing.

I've only done a short bit of casting around for what Joseph_OC has already accomplished and it seems that he might have got a bit done in the way of set up with some sites, github and opengis website. But that there might not be much code to go on yet.

I think the right track might be to #1 download LibreCAD and have a look at the functionality that it already has, and then perhaps as you suggested, do a wider search to see what existing libraries for survey functions might already be out there. (Though I have researched this shortly in the past a more in depth search might be useful.)

So, I'll go away and do these two things and come back with what I learn.
