Hello, All!
This is my first trip to the website and I hope I ask this correctly. I used to have a formula written down that allowed me to enter metes and bounds descriptions and draw 8 1/2" x 11" plats of land surveys but I seem to have lost it. It was similar to the following:
n83d43'51" and then a certain symbol (I think) and then the footage, such as 225.48' then enter and LT 98 would draw your line at that angle and distance. Does anyone know what is missing from the formula to make it work? I would appreciate any and all help! Thank you!

looks it might be missing the @ symbol

Format should be :

To point: @225.48'<n83d43'51"

If using decimal distance units you wouldn't use the foot tic mark.
