    Using Map 5, I can not construct a line at given bearing. For a given
    length of 25 feet at 45 degress North going east I am using:
    @25<n45de then enter. Nada happens, the command line continues to
    ask for next point. Any suggestions???

    What does AutoCAD report when you do this? Only thing I can think of
    is that 25 is so short in your drawing, 'Endpt' osnap is active, that a
    0 length line is created. But you would get the message;

    "Zero length line created at......"

    If this the case you might want to change your setting for OSNAPCOORD

    Thank you for the reply, Osnap is not on.

  5. A few questions:

    Is your current layer on?
    What's your current ELEVATION?
    Do you get a 'rubberband' line connected to your mouse?
    What are your UNITS? (linear and angular)

    Drawing is a simple 2D drawing for a street layout. Units are set to
    decimal and angle set to deg/min/sec. We have 3 other machines that
    the setup works on. We set up a new station and it doesn't work. I
    am wondering if there is another setting somewhere in AutoCad that is
    over riding and not allowing it to accept the line bearing command.

  7. Decimal *feet* I assume. What about my other questions?
    When you LIST>>LAST, what do you get?
