Reply to "Duplication of map by another measurer"

This has been resolved on my end. As the certifier for TX having to sign off on this AND the creator of the original map it put me in a weird spot, thats for sure. I gave the measurer 2 options: draw your own maps and resubmit or pay to use the map.

My view on the 2nd option: From time to time I hire a graphic artist to assist me with maps. I pay them a rate based on their time. The graphic artist takes my template, screenshots, photos, notes etc, then draws ~ 75% of the map, then I polish it up with the measurement details and "tech specs" before I submit it. I don't see anything wrong with that as I am paying the artist for their work and I put my name on it as a representation of the measurement done. Option 2 of the is the same situation with the other measurer, except that it was submitted before any agreement to such an arrangement was made.

End result - we worked out an agreement where the time saved by the measurer by using the maps was compensated to the original artist. All is well.
