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] \<N>
