North Pointer / CAD Block / Multiple Floors Question

[JKEdmo]

Hello,

 

I created my lot boundary lines on level 1 with the CAD polyline showing length / quadrant bearings.  I added my North Pointer and rotated to true north.  The lot boundaries updated correctly to show true bearings.  All well and good.

 

Level 1:

 

 

 

 

Then, I blocked these lot lines for convenience in order to copy across multiple floors as I'd like to show lot lines, setbacks, etc. on different levels.

 

My problem is the lot boundary bearings do not show correctly when I copy/paste to the new floors.  Even if I add a new north pointer to the level is does not work.

 

Other levels:

 

 

Your insight appreciated.

 

I suspect North Pointer does not play well with blocked polylines.  (I also swear I figured this out before but I just cannot remember!)

 

Thanks again,

 

Jim

OK, I figured it out:

 

Turns out I needed to update the Angle / Quadrant Bearing setting for each floor level.  Once I did that the angle bearings showed correctly.

 

The CAD Defaults setting is unique to each level.

 

Learned something new today.
