Autocadd release 14

Autocadd release 14

Autocadd release 14

(OP)
Please pardon my ignorance, but could someone please describe how to plot survey bearing and distances using release 14?  I can't figure out the proper command string to do this, although I know it can be done.  The release 14 user manuals that we have are less than helpful...

Thanks.

RE: Autocadd release 14

If you mean draw lines at given bearings and distances, as follows:
LINE Specify first point: 100,100

Specify next point or [Undo]: @35.67<N34d15'35"e

Specify next point or [Undo]: @107.02<s0d5'33"w

Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: c

To display bearings in survey units for the LIST command, have units set to "Surveyor" with appropriate precision for distances and bearings.

RE: Autocadd release 14

Also, if plotting by azimuth, you will have to change the settings so that "north" becomes your 0/360 degree reference and that the positive azimuth is clockwise rotation.
