Quadrant Bearing - Zero Minutes Displayed

[JKEdmo]

Good morning,

 

I'm drawing my CAD property lines and would like to have zero angle minutes displayed.  Right now they are suppressed.  I can't figure out where the setting might be.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again for any help.  Jim

Might be wrong but I don't think there is an option or preference for that -- I've only ever seen it simplify.

Draw a straight line and it'll show N90E, rather than N90 0' 0"E.

No CA setting for that.    It can be done with a very complex macro and referenced line label.

Thanks.  Total bummer.  Not end of the world though.

There are also plenty of other formatting options that can be accomplished with macro's depending on the region you are working in and the timeframe the survey was done and sometimes even the personal style of the individual surveyor.  Trailing zero's is a common modern one to confirm the level of accuracy used in doing the survey.

I sent Chief a suggestion to allow trailing zeroes.

 

My very first quarter of college in 1986 I had a surveying class.  We had to be in the sheep fields at around 7 AM in the morning with the steel tape.  I may still be suffering survey trauma.
