Hi Michael
Thanks a lot for your response

1. Hit SPACE, go to command line.
2. Enter: "line"
3. Enter: "@10,10" relative point.
4. Enter: "line".
5. Enter: "@10<30" relative point with angle.
Yes, that is clear, but my original question was: How to introduce the shown values (eg: 16º15'16" Latitud West) into QCad, as I said it before (in Spansih) I remember in AutoCad I used to introduce the next notation: (see next comment SVP)
BTW: You can in fact use different notation systems:
See Edit, Current Drawing Preferences.
Then Units.
Then Change to a system you need.
Angel, DEG/MIN/SEC. or Surveyors Unit.
So lets say I have the following values:
Code: Select all
DISTANCE. COURSE
34.51 Meter N 55º28'19" W
70.22 Meter N 70º25'46" W
etc.
How should I introduce them in qcad???
Thanks a lot for this tip, I had seen it long time before, and let me tell u that THIS was the reason why I decided to go to the pro version
Use This:
--------------
Dimensioning for surveyors: shortcut couold be "ds"
Angles are always less than 90 and related to compass coordinates.
Select start point of line, then placement of dimension.
Dimension is noted as angle over length:
N23d12'43"W
123.26 ft
I Now, I enter another line by selecting Snap To Polar coordinate and entering on the command line : @123.26<90+23+12/60+43/3600
---------
I 'm guessing this is my answer, but I still do not get it
....
Ok, with apples and oranges to see if what you are stating I'm understanding it....
1. Selecting Units: Edit>Current Drawing preferences... >Units >Angle >Surveyours Units
2. Let's say my starting point is 0,0 so I write in the command line:
Code: Select all
0,0
ds
@123.26<90+23+12/60+43/3600
etc ????
Thanks for your response
