How do I draw a property boundary using surveyors data?
A6 – A: The answer comes from Ferdz Reyes: Switch to Relative Polar input mode — by pressing the Insert key repeatedly — and to Bearing angle mode (Utility/Settings/AngleTyp/Bearings). Click on the drawing area to locate first point of the property line then press the Spacebar. Supply the necessary distance and angle for the succeeding points. If you need to supply irregular angles such as N 35 degrees 48 minutes E type in “N35.48E” without the quotes. Note that the dot here is being used as a delimiter between degrees and minutes. (Note : For those using the Imperial/English System, usage of the dot as a delimeter in distance input depends on the current scale type).
