There's nothing there that answers my Q, It only suggest instead of the original format of 123.45'57" use 123.4557. As you can see we were able to use the former to plot the lines.
I guess you're going to have to explain it to me then
That can be arrange, but you need to tell me if you want to stick with the original format for azimuth prompt or use Bigals suggestion
This is the part i'm having trouble understanding.
Is it that hard to type in @500 an azimuth equivalent 123.4557 and distance 500? if the only issue the "d" and quote symbols then you can be prompted with 123-45-57, the issue here as shown on post # 14 is the distinction between minutes and seconds. where does one end and the other start?
45.233 ----> 23'3" or 2'33"?
Also it appears that you want to "see" the lines being drawn on the screen as oppose to what i suggested and proven to you, input all the values then draw the polyline in one go [much like alanjt's code, can be modified wherein you'll prompted for input THEN draw the polyline].
The real issue here me thinks is the ease of typing in the value by avoiding the other symbols. Now if you or Bigal can shed light on the minutes and seconds issue then if should be easy cheesy japanesey.
