Draw line by entering bearing and distance for surveying purposes.

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is any code available to draw lines by entering bearing as dd.mmss and distance in metres with 3 decimal places instead of using @distance <bearings?
As a surveyor, there are a lot of lines needed to be entered this way.

    Look at Angular Unit Type (aunits) and Angular Unit Precision (auprec). Regardless of the setting you should be able to enter the angle as 00d00'00.00". To display in that format, you'll need to make the change in the dimension style.
