To create property lines using the bearing and distance of each line segment:

  1. Click the Property Line tool from the Site Planning tool set, and then click Bearing and Distance mode from the Tool bar.

  2. Click to set the starting point of the first property line segment.

  3. A red bull’s-eye is placed on the drawing to mark the starting point; the Define Property Line dialog box opens.

  4. Specify the segment parameters and click Add to update the drawing file. Continue to add or remove segments as needed.

  5. Alternatively, for simpler, linear-only entry, click Preferences from the Tool bar. From the object properties dialog box, click Simple Dialog on Bearing and Distance Mode. Now when you click to place the starting point, the Create Property Line dialog box opens. Enter the Azimuth and Distance for each segment, and select whether to close the shape automatically with the final selection.

  6. Click OK to create the property line.

If this is the first time the Property Line tool has been used, the object properties dialog box opens. Set the defaults and click OK (see Property Line Parameters).
