AutoCAD allows you to enter bearings as an angle, in the format :@distance<angleuse "d" after degrees, apostrophe after minutes, quote after secondsUse "line" command, pick a start point, then for next point enter:@16.57<n21d47'eand continue with other lines around the lothope this helps!

[/QUOTE]hey carlB tnx for the response, but one more thing... ther was no "second" nor "minute" on a given measure above?..would that be okif i proceed? just like u said  "@16.57<n21d47'e"??

Just to give you a little background on what you're doing, serjuk, it is a system or method of describing land called Metes & Bounds.I just learned of it myself a couple months back and thought it was very interesting. Good Luck!
