  • Decimal Degrees

  • Degrees:Minutes:Seconds

  • Radians

  • Grads

Decimals

Enter the number of decimal places to which angular measurements should be displayed.

Zero Point

Select the direction of the zero axis. For Cartesian drawings this is usually 3 o'clock. For Survey drawings this is normally 6 o'clock in the southern hemisphere and 12 o'clock in the northern hemisphere.

Measure

Select whether angular measurements increase in a clockwise direction from the zero point, or in a counter (anti) clockwise direction.

For Cartesian and Survey northern hemisphere drawings this is usually counter clockwise, and clockwise for Survey drawings in the southern hemisphere.
