Another way, which is similar to Andrews, but does away with the mirror-ing at 45degrees step:
1. Click to start the line.
2. Drag your cursor in the direction of north (constrain with the Shift key).
3. Hit the R key, input the length.
4. Hit the A key, input the angle from survey (with spaces between degrees, minutes and seconds - if its 0 seconds you do not have to put in the 0)
5. Then hit the -(minus) key and hit ENTER.
This has the effect of adding your bearing to the north direction. You use the minus key as Archicad measures angles anti-clockwise, survey goes clockwise.
This method also works with the Cadimage Survey Boundary object, for those who have it.
Hope this makes sense.
