What you can do
Join Two Survey Numbers into One FMB Sketch
Download the FMB sketch for each survey number, then join them along their shared boundary into one continuous, print-ready map — in your browser, without a surveyor.
A land parcel that spans two survey numbers has two separate FMB sketches — one per number. Neither drawing shows the whole property, which is a problem the moment you need to show its full extent to a buyer, a bank or a court.
Joining them is an established job. Licensed surveyors sell it as a "Combined FMB Sketch" and quote for it by hand; freelancers redraw it in AutoCAD over several days. If your two sketches simply need to be lined up at their shared boundary, you can do that yourself in a few minutes.
One payment covers 24 hours: any number of sheets, unlimited edits and unlimited full-resolution downloads. Your files never leave your device.
When you need this
You are buying — or already own — land that the revenue records split across two adjacent survey numbers. The sale deed describes one property; the FMB records describe two halves of it.
Every party who has to verify the land wants to see one drawing: the buyer's advocate checking the schedule of boundaries, the bank's valuer confirming extent, the sub-registrar matching the deed to the record.
What you need first
- The FMB sketch for each survey number, downloaded as a PDF from the Tamil Nadu Survey & Settlement portal (eservices.tn.gov.in).
- Confirmation that the two survey numbers are actually adjacent — the FMB itself lists the neighbouring survey numbers along each boundary.
- A phone or computer with a browser. Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
How to do it
- 1
Download both FMB sketches
Get the FMB PDF for each survey number from the Tamil Nadu Survey & Settlement e-services portal. Save both to the same device.
- 2
Open the editor and add both sheets
Open the editor and add the two PDFs. Each is rendered at print resolution, the printed frame is cropped away and the white background is made transparent so the drawings can sit against each other.
- 3
Line them up at the shared boundary
Drag one sheet towards the other. Edge snapping pulls the shared boundary line into place, so the two survey numbers meet exactly where the record says they do.
- 4
Check the neighbouring numbers agree
Along the joined edge, the survey number printed on one sheet should be the number of the other sheet. If they disagree, the two parcels are not adjacent along that side.

Download the joined map
Export a full-resolution PNG, or a print-ready PDF fitted to A4 through A0 for taking to an office.
Frequently asked questions
Is a joined FMB sketch an official document?+
No. Joining sheets does not change their legal status — the result is your two official FMB sketches shown in their correct relative position. Where a certified combined sketch is required, it must come from a licensed surveyor or the taluk survey office.
What if the two sheets are drawn at different scales?+
Older sheets measured in chains and links are often drawn at a different scale from modern metric sheets. Resize one sheet until the shared boundary is the same length on both before snapping them together.
Can I join more than two survey numbers?+
Yes. There is no limit on the number of sheets — the same flat editor access covers any number of them.
Do my documents get uploaded anywhere?+
No. Every sheet is rendered and joined inside your own browser. The files never leave your device.
