When drawing a property line in sketch mode, is it possible to specify the direction? I can get the minutes& seconds- but not the NE, SW. I would prefer not to use the table- is there a way to enter this data in as I'm drawing the line?

Thanks!!

Change your angle units to DMS in the units dialog. You can change them back when you are finished.

I did that, but there is no where (that I can see) to type in the direction- such as north, south, east, & west.

You have to know you are pointing N-S E-W and type the correct offset in. We either get the table data which has its own set of issues, or we trace the Survey and check the lengths and angles.
