Drawing Property Plat

[corvette63]

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.

type in ddunits, look at angle, change to surveyor units.

example

n24d38'23"e

This has always aggravted me that you couldn't enter units that you didn't have set.

Au contraire, you can enter survey units (angle & direction) with other than survey units set. But a listing will not report the angle in survey units unless et.

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

Sorry,

Was reffering more to the feet and inches when you are in decimal. At least in Acad 2000.

Try this one, to see if you understand how. This simple mapcheck I've recently done closed to 0.0130/1062.48 = 0.000012.

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

I concur with lha & his/her results.

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".
