For the overall Drawing Setting for Angles set it here:

 

Settings Tab of Toolspace>Rt. Click on Drawing name>Drawinng Settings>Ambient Settings Tab>Angle>Grad

To get it to display as Grads in the Properties Palette etc. enter UNITS @ command line and set "Angle" to Grads.

Knowing that 90 degrees = 100 gons, I would think that having an Excel spreadsheet handy for quick conversions would be the way.  If you were to use an alignment there are ways to show an intersection angle and could perhaps use an expression for a label.

Thanks guys! I had already done that and still saw degrees. I then close and reopen and everything is fine. I wonder why auto desk made some things so hard.I am working with PC since 1990 and never saw those silly things in any software. Sometimes I think many it is on purpose and some on is making fun of us out there in auto desk offices... Thanks again
