Good day,

I am trying to calculate true directions in a land survey file i.e. true direction north = 0.0000 degrees. However, microstation 0.0000 deg direction is on the east west axis. Any ideas how to achieve a north bearing of 0.0000 deg?

Regards

Go into the Settings>Design File menu, pick Coordinate Readout, and change the Angle Mode to "Azimuth". That will give you a North reading of 0 degrees.
