Site Plan (autocad 2004)

Was wondering if anyone can help me draw two arcs (curves) in AutoCAD
2004. Here is the information I have for the first curve
Radius=1103.75' Length=155.38' Chord=155.25' Bearing=n85d15'34" w. The
second curve is radius=30.00' length 46.84' chord 42.23' bearing
n44d33'40" w. I am sure you can tell I am a novice. So any help would
be appreciated. Thanks

 

Well, here's how I'd do it:

Draw a circle (C1) of the specified radius.
Draw another circle (C2) with its centrepoint on a quadrant of the
first circle and radius equal to the specified chord length.
Draw a line from the centre of circle C2 to one of the points at which
it intersects circle C1. This is the chord.
Delete circle C2 and trim circle C1 to the chord.

I haven't use degrees minutes and seconds in a long, long time - but I
think these are arcminutes and arcseconds measured counterclockwise
from north.
If so, for each bearing, draw a vertical line and rotate it by it's
southernmost handle through 85.259 & 44.561 degrees respectively. You
should be able to figure out how to align the chords with these
bearings.

 

That's a much better way! In fact, using this principle you can make it
even simpler:

Thank-you! Great Help
