Question
What is the formula to type in to draw property lines on a map.
Example data given:
N 00 degrees 28'00" E 100.15

Answer
Chrystal i apologize for the delay. To answer your question, first of all you'll need to set your degrees to surveyors units (apply on ddunits & ddim commands). Keep in mind that when you draw your line, it's almost as if you are walking the line.

Execute:
PLINE
(specify starting point)
@100.15'<n00d28'00"e
(specify next coordinates)

Hope this helps...& have a good thanksgiving!

Regards,
JB
