Drawing Property Plat
(OP)
I am trying to create a CAD drawing of my property to use to design a sprinkler system. I can't figure out how to create the property lines using angles and distances in survey foremat. Any help would be appreciated. Using CAD 2005.

This has always aggravted me that you couldn't enter units that you didn't have set.
RE: Drawing Property Plat
For your example to input nbarings/distances:
Command: l LINE Specify first point: [pick or enter point]
Specify next point or [Undo]: @45.34<n23d45'33"e
RE: Drawing Property Plat
Was reffering more to the feet and inches when you are in decimal. At least in Acad 2000.
RE: Drawing Property Plat
I always work unitless distances; so if you prefer " or ' or mm or ligthyears or whatever, you'll have to add the suffix.
MULTIPLE
Enter command name to repeat: PLINE
Specify start point: 0,0,0
@132.37<n39d16’0”w
@50.13<n32d45’0”e
@148.41<n45d39’0”w
@163.25<n37d21’40”e
@318.51<s49d56’30”e
@249.81<s46d7’0”w

RE: Drawing Property Plat
You can use the LINE or PLINE command. No need to precede command with "multiple" though, as the command will prompt for successive points until you hit "enter".
