Commitment parsed
Extracts Schedule A, all Schedule B exceptions, instrument numbers, hyperlinked document URLs, and the subject parcel legal description.
Transforming Title Commitments to AutoCAD for ALTA Surveys.
Upload a title commitment PDF. ALTA-Plot retrieves every Schedule B exception document, parses the legal descriptions, and returns geo-referenced DWG linework, KML, and closure reports — organized by exception number and ready for AutoCAD.

How It Works
From commitment PDF to survey-ready geometry
The entire document retrieval, OCR, classification, and plotting workflow executes automatically the moment your file is uploaded.
Documents retrieved
Hyperlinked exception documents are downloaded automatically. Digital PDFs are read directly; scanned documents are OCR'd page by page.
Document classification
Each document is classified by type, parties, recording information, and spatial relationship to the subject parcel. Plottable descriptions are identified.
Geometry delivered
Legal descriptions are geo-referenced via Legal-Plot and returned as DWG, KML, and a full closure report. All linework is coordinate-accurate.
Capabilities
Purpose-built for ALTA survey workflows
Every feature is designed around the actual title examination and ALTA/NSPS preparation process.
Title commitment intelligence
Reads Schedule A, B-II, and C/Exhibit A across major western US underwriters — Pioneer Title, First American, Fidelity, Stewart, TitleOne, and more.
Title analysis
Every exception is reviewed and classified with a risk rating, recommended ALTA Table A items, developer brief, and field crew notes.
Georeferenced linework
Legal-Plot converts metes-and-bounds descriptions to SPCS coordinates. Every exception and parcel boundary arrives positioned at real-world coordinates.
Paperspace-ready DWG
Native DWG output includes AutoCAD-compatible MTEXT annotations with all Schedule B exception data formatted for the survey sheet.
Concurrent processing
Up to three exception documents are processed simultaneously. A full title commitment with dozens of exceptions completes in minutes, not hours.
Planning & flood data
Zoning classification, setbacks, permissible uses, and FEMA NFHL flood zone data are pulled automatically and displayed alongside the survey geometry.
Building footprints
OSM and Microsoft GlobalML building footprints — with height data — are fetched automatically and shown as a toggleable layer over Google HD satellite or Esri aerial imagery.
GIS overlays
Toggle BLM PLSS townships, sections, and quarter-sections; statewide public parcel boundaries with APN tooltips; and a Google HD satellite basemap at zoom 21.
Output
Everything a surveyor needs to begin drafting
For every plottable exception you receive the source document, extracted legal description text, a geo-referenced DWG, a KML, and a closure report — organized and bundled into a single ZIP download.
- Geo-referenced DWG linework for every plottable exception
- AutoCAD paperspace DWG with all Schedule B exception MTEXT
- KML files for Google Earth verification
- Closure reports with precision ratio and computed acreage
- Building footprints (OSM + Microsoft GlobalML) with heights
- PLSS, Public Parcels, FEMA flood zone as toggleable map layers
- Full ZIP export with source documents included
