Summary
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
The Advanced Setup wizard contains five pages: Units, Angle, Angle Measure,
Angle Direction, and Area. As you work in this wizard, choose Back and Next
to navigate between pages; choose Finish on the last page to close the wizard
and create the new drawing with the settings you specified.
You can later change units, angle, angle measure, and angle direction using
the UNITS command, and you can change area using the LIMITS command.
Units
Indicates the unit format and precision. The unit format is the format in which
you enter and in which the program displays coordinates and measurements.
The Units page of the Quick Setup wizard includes the same formats. See
Specify Units and Unit Formats for more information.
The unit precision specifies the number of decimal places or the fractional
size for displaying linear measurements.
Angle
Indicates the format in which you enter angles and in which the program
displays angles.
Decimal Degrees Displays partial degrees as decimals.
Deg/Min/Sec Displays partial degrees as minutes and seconds.
Grads Displays angles as grads.
Radians Displays angles as radians.
Surveyor Displays angles in surveyor's units.
Angle Measure
Indicates the direction of the 0 angle for the entry of angles. When you enter
an angle value, the angle is measured either counter-clockwise or clockwise
from the compass direction that you select on this page. You control the
counterclockwise/clockwise direction on the Angle Direction page.
East Specifies the compass direction east as the 0 angle.
North Specifies the compass direction north as the 0 angle.
West Specifies the compass direction west as the 0 angle.
South Specifies the compass direction south as the 0 angle.
