I have a deed with survey units on but have no idea how to map this out in AutoCAD. 
The readings are as such:
S.47Degrees E for a distance of 177'3"
S.29.5degrees E for a distance of 333'
N.71.5degrees E for a distance of 358'6"
N.20degrees W for a distance of 165'10"
S.64degrees W for a distance of 197'
....and so on. 
How would I enter these or convert so that they can be entered?
I have seen plenty of posts with degrees and minutes, seconds. I do not have any minutes or seconds as you can see. 
I need to do a survey lot plan for a permit application and approval. 

Any help greatly appreciated.

You first have to start by invoking the UNITS command where, if you look on the right side of the window, you'll see Angle > Type.  This is where you pick Surveyor's Units from the drop down list.  Then below that you'll see Precision.  I recommend the second one on the drop down list which reads N0d00'00"E.  To accept the changes click on the OK button.
