You can specify the measurement conventions for angles so that positive values of angles are measured either clockwise or counterclockwise, and angle 0 can be set to any position. You can enter angles using grads, radians, or surveyor's units or using degrees, minutes, and seconds.
If you use surveyor's angles when specifying polar coordinates, indicate whether the surveyor's angles are in the north, south, east, or west direction. For example, to enter a coordinate relative to the current coordinate for a property line that is 72 feet, 8 inches long with a bearing of 45 degrees north, 20 minutes, 6 seconds east, enter
@72'8"<n45d20'6"e
