I am struggling with a workflow to quickly enter bearings and dimensions on to parcels. Prior to todays revelation, I had been copying and pasting the angle from the properties palette into Accudraw's fields below the workspace, already changed to distance and angle. While the distance probably worked 100% of the time, the angle was a constant aggravation. I got in the habit of opening excel and copying the data there because I couldn't understand why pasting the data, from microstation, into micorstation, wasn't taking. So at least I had a data chart to reference. Basically, then I would just input the data into the field and it became less problematic. Turns out, the output from the properties palette is lacking the same format as the input in Accudraw. There is a space after N or S and a space prior to E or W (N 55°54'13" W) not (N55°54'13"W). I strongly believe that all data within a single program should be uniform and consistent.
