Topic: Bearing input

[Mark]

When using the bearing-distance command in C3D, how would the user input the bearing 89°14'11.2"? Or what setting do i need to change so i can enter the decimal seconds of said bearing? Right now I use DD.MMSS.

thanks.

not sure why i've never come across this issue before!

you would go to drawing settings, ambient settings and set
Direction>>>>Format DD MM SS.SS

and have a nice day!

that is what it is set at currently. *shrug*

Code: [Select]

>>Specify quadrant (1-4): 2
Current direction unit: degree, Input: DD° MM' SS.SS" (spaced)
>>Specify bearing: 89 >> <- space here same as enter

wow ...... that sucks! Found the problem though.

Code: [Select]

Current direction unit: degree, Input: DD°MM'SS.SS"
>>Specify bearing: 89d14'11.2"

No worse than how one MUST key-in Arch dimensions when using those units.
