Bearing Annotation rounding / displaying issue

[TimGIS]

Using Annotation to place a Distance and Bearing text via the great post from Murph (Label Those Lot Lines,) I seem to have an inconsistent display of my bearings when the bearing is close to 0. I built the file using Civil 3D but switched to Map3D which doesn't seem to have access to Ambient Setting anymore either.

Using a simple polyline and with my units and precision set as per the blog (Surveyor Units, Precision of 0.000000), sometimes a bearing of N0d13'00'E will show up as just "N".

I need to see that it is 13 minutes.  Can anyone help?

Thanks

Tim, 

I'll go back and review that post (it's been a while) and see if there is anything to get it to display the 0. 

No guarantee. 😉

Works ok for me as long as the line was created with survey units input. 

I created the line by picking a sp then used 50<N0d13'25"E as the next point.

Look at the property angle of the line and see what it lists. You may have to erase the line and redraw it using the input Distance<N0DXX'xx" with XX & xx as the min & sec you want.

Looks like its a Polyline vs Line issue. It works fine with the line object but not the polyline object. See attachment

I prefer to use polyline objects due to my GIS work but maybe I need to do all my prework as Line Objects (gross.) All my polylines are of the Surveyor Type input (Distance<N0DXX'xx", yet its just the Annotation (by way of the annotation template) that is rounding the value of N0D13'00"E to  just S

If you have any further thoughts on why annotation rounds to S on a polyline but not a line that would be great. Please test with N0D13'00"E. Otherwise, thanks so much for your reply.
