To create property lines using the bearing and distance of each line segment:
1. Click the tool and mode.
2.Click to set the starting point of the first property line segment.
A red bull’s-eye is placed on the drawing to mark the starting point; the Define Property Line dialog box opens.
3.Specify the segment parameters and click Add to update the drawing file. Continue to add or remove segments as needed.
Alternatively, for simpler, linear-only entry, click Preferences. 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.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters (see Property line parameters). The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
