AutoCAD allows you to enter bearings as an angle, in the format :@distance<angle

use "d" after degrees, apostrophe after minutes, quote after seconds

Use "line" command, pick a start point, then for next point enter:
@16.57<n21d47'e

and continue with other lines around the lot

hope this helps!

Just to give you a little background on what you're doing, serjuk, it is a system or method of describing land called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metes_and_bounds" rel="nofollow - Metes & Bounds .

I just learned of it myself a couple months back and thought it was very interesting. Good Luck!
