The bearing and distance window is used to move the cross hairs a precise bearing and distance from its current position. Users can use it to draw a single line segment or to draw an entire property description. To display this window press the D key while in line drawing or area drawing mode.

Click on the interactive image below for more information.

Notes:

•The newer List Tab, which allows users to type in a complete description all at once, is a more practical tool to use for deed descriptions but this example is included here for those who prefer to type the calls one at a time using the Line Tab.

•Tool use instructions will also appear in the footer of the Think GIS window in the Instructional Bar.
