Site plans and line coordinates

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 23:48:58 GMT

Hello. I am an official ArchiCAD user as of today. I have questions concerning drawing plats.

1. Can I draw lines using distance and bearing coordinates.
2. Is there a method for displaying distance and bearing coordinates for individual lines automatically?

Thanks,

Mark Hendricks

Sure. Just change your "working units" for angles, under Preferences, to Surveyor's.

Not without buying a GDL object from Objects Online. ($20) [Missing Chief yet? ]

Hi Richard and Thanks,
No, I can't say I'm missing Chief, Especialy when I get to the documentation stage. And really, all in all, ArchiCAD has the flexibility I need. See Ya,
