Plotting Bearing Points

[lysaghtassoc]

Hello Everyone!

Please help me, as I've been scratching my head for a couple days on this.. 

I am trying to plot a site plan using bearing points - some of the bearings seem to work, however when I get to (for example) @41360<S234d10'00"W it will not work! I'm wondering whether the degrees is too large? If it is, how do I go about doing this?

I have attached a picture of the LOT that I am trying to draw, along with the bearings and distances.

I have got them down as (But maybe this is where I'm going wrong!):

A-B N54d10'30"E (54700mm)

B-C S144d09'00"E (41360mm)

C-D S234d10'00"W (60670mm)

D-E N324d06'30"W (35360mm)

E-A N9d06'30"E (8480mm)

Kind regards,

Jane

This is not bearing, this is azimuth.

Every angle is measured from North and goes clockwise, then go to the next line

But when you rotate a line, autocad uses negative.

Thank you very much! Had to look up the difference. For some reason it also helped to turn the starting point from North to West.
