Line Labels

in 2D Drafting

Is there an option to create a line label that displays a bearing in survey units. I have found how to create line labels that display the bearing in azimuth, but no North, South, East, West directions.

Thank you!

    If your intention is to use fields:
    Choose the correct setting for AUNITS (via the _Settings command) and then select 'Current units' in the Field dialog. Or (if you do not want to change your AUNITS) select 'Surveyor's units'.

    I am not sure if I understand what you mean by using fields. But I have changed the angle units in settings to 'Surveyor's units'.

    I haven't found an option to change the line labels from azimuth to survey units.

    It would help if you explain your current labeling method.
    Information on fields can be found in the (Online) Help.

    I apologize for the confusion. The best question would be is there a way to label a line in BricsCAD with distance and bearing(in surveyor's units)? I have only found options for labeling polylines in the civil site design and not the options I am searching for.

    Try Sofoco Tools.
    Oh, you probably after N34°25'45"W, not 325°34'15". Don't think that will do such.

    Or lookup DotSoft. His does from memory.
    He makes some very useful applications.

    These applications are essential for surveyors using Cad.

    (i just discovered you can now edit posts. Thanks. Much appreciated)

    Jason Bourhill has created a Bearing Distance Lisp program.
    Link: http://www.cadconcepts.co.nz/news/tag/autolisp
    To get surveyor's units change line 139 from:
    (setq Bunits 1) ; Degrees/minutes/seconds
    To:
    (setq Bunits 4)
