Sometime in the '90's, I used AutoCAD to lay out the survey bounderies for our property. And for whatever reason, I didn't save it as a DXF or DWG. I do have it as a PNG, but that rally isn't cutting the mustard. I am now in the process of designing a room addition to our home which will also require an upgrade to the septic system and the restrictions that come with it as well as other issues about the property.
So I need to recreate our survey from the legal description for the property.
I'm running QCAD Version: 3.29.6.0 (3.29.6) on a Windows machine. I have found other forum postings that provide recommendation for how to enter the data (i.e. N89d15'0"E279.24') but I cant get it to work. And I currently get an error message telling me my data input is incorrect.
I have also tried "@279.24<N89d15'0" and get the error message in the Command Line window "Invalid coordinate or distance "@279.24<N89d15".
I've tried the data entry behind the LA command with no luck. When I type in LA in the Command Window, QCAD comes back and asks "Position". I have then picked a point on the page, but there is no line extension from that point.
I have tried entering datum numbers mentioned above, both with and without the LA command.
There is a toolbar that comes up, sometimes on the left side of the toolbar bar, other times on the right side where I can sometimes enter the angle and length of the line, but nothing shows up as a line on the drawing.
Help please
?
