Drawing Property Lines Using Surveyors Units

Anonymous
Not applicable
Good Day All. I have a question about using surveyors units while drawing lines. Whenever I draw a site plan, I change my Model Unit to Decimal Feet with 2 Decimal places, and my Angle Unit to Surveyor's Unit with 45 30' 30" as settings. This is not a earth shattering problem, rather an annoyance. It seems that ArchiCad will not draw survey units in a southerly heading,
i.e.: S 45 30' 30" W. To draw this line I have to do N 45 30' 30" E, and have to draw the line off to the side then drag it onto the previously drawn line. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a glitch in AC? Any suggestions? Thank you. Jeff.

It works ok for me.

edit: nevermind, it's all over the place.
