Select the line from which to measure the deflection
angle by either selecting an existing line in your
drawing, or by specifying a starting and ending point
(1 and 2) for the line. Then specify the deflection angle
(3) and the distance from the starting point (4).

To specify a point using a deflection angle and a distance
1 Click Home tab ➤ Draw panel ➤ COGO drop-down ➤ COGO Input.
■ To use the Deflection/Distance routine transparently, start a command,
such as PLINE or ARC, then enter ‘mapcogo.
2 In the
COGO Input dialog box (page 1668), select the Deflection/Distance
routine.
3 Specify the line to use to measure the angle. Click to select the
line on the map.
■ For the first point of an object, specify a starting point and ending
point for the line, or select an existing line in the drawing.
■ For a later point in the object, specify just the ending point for the
line. The previous point of the object is the starting point of the line.
4 Enter the deflection angle from the line you just specified to the line of
the new direction. Click
to specify the angle on the map.
