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.

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&quot;e

Specify next point or [Undo]: @107.02<s0d5'33&quot;w

Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: c

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

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