Entering Angle and Distance
When adding the points to draw a new shape-based object,
the Enter key can be pressed to manually enter the angle and distance
relative to the last point placed. The angle can be input either as degrees or
as a survey bearing. Survey bearings are useful when adding property lines.

Entering Angles Click the Angle option to enter
the angle of the next point in degrees. Refer to the picture to the right of the
dialog when entering degrees. Degrees do not depend on the compass angle.
Entering Survey Bearings Click the Survey bearing
option to enter the bearing of the next point in the following format:
Direction Degrees Minutes Seconds Direction. The minutes and seconds are
optional. When entering survey bearings, the angle of the compass is relevant.
Following are some survey bearing examples:
