The "-units" command is used to control the display format and precision of coordinates and angles.
## Command Prompts:
> Report formats: (Examples)
> 1\. Scientific 1.55E\+01
> 2\. Decimal 15.50
> 3\. Engineering 1'-3.50"
> 4\. Architectural 1'-3 1/2"
> 5\. Fractional 15 1/2
> Enter choice, 1 to 5\<2\>:
If users specify the Scientific, or Decimal or Engineering format, it prompts to specify the precision:
> Enter number of digits to right of decimal point(0 to 8)\<4\>:
If users specify the Architectural or Fractional format, it prompts to enter denominator of minimum fraction:
> Enter denominator of minimum fraction to display(1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 or 256)\<16\>:
Then prompt to enter angle format and precision:
> Systems of angle measure: (Examples)
> 1\. Decimal degrees 45.0000
> 2\. Degrees/minutes/seconds 45d0'0"
> 3\. Grads 50.0000g
> 4\. Radians 0.7854r
> 5\. Surveyor's units N 45d0'0" E
> Enter number of fractional places for display of angle(0 to 8)\<0\>:
Then prompt to enter the direction for angle N 90d E
\<N 90d E\>
:
> Direction for angle N 90d E:
> East 3 o'clock \= N 90d E
> North 12 o'clock \= N 0d W
> West 9 o'clock \= S 90d W
> South 6 o'clock \= S 0d E
> Enter direction for angle N 90d E\< N 90d E \>:
The default direction for 0 degrees is to the east quadrant, or 3 o'clock. The default direction for positive angular measurement is counterclockwise.
> Measure angles clockwise?\[Yes/No\]
