Maxim, 

Thank you again for your solution to my original problem.  In correcting this successfully I realized I have another problem. My apologies if this is a rudimentary concept (am very new at autocad and drafting), but I am trying to orient my site to face the cardial directions generated from my compass, who creates North as 0 degrees and East at 90 degrees.  However, on my model north is oriented to the Cartesian X,Y plane, making North 90 degrees and East 0 degrees. 

How can I  solve this discrepancy?

Thanks again,

SMyrick
