entering azimuth data

[Anonymous]

Howdy!

I'm working with A2K Map 4 ---

I'm already familiar with the "quadrant" entry format:

@75
But now I have a ton of point data to put on a .dwg that's in the form of
polar coordinates:

distance = 75' bearing = 156 degrees 17 minutes

where "bearing" can range from 0 to 360, with 0 = north.

QUESTION: Is there some way to configure A2K such that 0 degrees = north?

I found the Format > Units... > Direction... but don't know if I'm in the
right place and can't figure out how to use the "Other" line to make north =
0 in this dialog box ----- When I enter "0" and pick a direction on the
drawing, then press [ OK], it reverts to east = 0.

John,

Just set the base angle to North (forget selecting "other"). Also don't
forget to check the clockwise button in UNITS.

That seems to work! Amazingly simple!

Thanks John
