Rounding Bearings

Richard Sands

I have GeoTools and while I can quickly round numbers I need to round bearings to the nearest 10", 20" or ' (one minute)
So 125°25'48"  becomes 125°25'40", 0°00'55" to 0°01'00"

Is there a quick way to do this please?

These are survey plans that I have to present lines annotated in two ways. One to nearest second and mm and the other to the nearest10", 20" or minute depending on length of line and length to 2 decimal places.

regards
Richard

Hi Richard,

We can quickly create a tool in GeoTools to round off bearings as well. That would be a good addition.

Please note that the command to round off numbers text is now in CADPower after we split the products into two.

Thanks Rakesh
Yes I'd seen you changes but hadn't really thought about them much in my application as I didn't see a need for any change at this end.
Something like the 'never say never' thingo at play I think.
I'd better have a good look at your two options now.

All that aside I for one would very much welcome that.
Your (and others) applications make my workflow in Bricscad so much of a pleasure.
Takes the tedium and resulting possible (as in likely) errors out.
