Yet another direct quote from the Dotsoft website: http://www.dotsoft.com/acadtips.htm. 3rd one today. Scroll down to the "Construct/Draw" section.

This guy is a big PITA. We should get Vlad to change his username. LOL

Spammers are like hemorrhoids...a big PITA!  The dude should get a girlfriend.  That will keep him plenty busy.

What is the purpose of posting all of these "Tips and Tricks" here?  If you are running an AutoCAD help site why not just say so?

First you need to set the appropriate units in the DDUNITS command.  Set the angular units to 'Surveyor', then choose the direction button and make sure that 'Angle Direction' = east, 'Rotation' = counter clockwise. Even though you have set to Surveyors Units it won't work right unless set this way.

Then using the LINE or PLINE command you enter the calls as relative polar coordinates.

Command: LINE
Start Point: (Pick One)
Next Point: @123.45<N45D30'15"E
Next Point: @234.56<S25D10'10"W

Notice the syntax for the relative polar coordinate. You put the @ sign first, which means relative to the last point.  Next comes the distance. Last is the bearing. Its enclosed in the quadrant NE, NW, SE, SW, note the use of letter D to indicate the degrees.
