I am using V3.32.3 on W11
How do you enter Azimuth angles I QCAD. I place a - sign in front of the angle (eg -223d25'15") but not sure if that is correct.

Re: How do you enter Azimuth angles
Hi,
Please refer to this related topic.
This functionality was added to what was already possible: Some examples by Andrew
From what I understand of it, 'Azimuth' and 'Bearing' have an overlapping meaning.
And that is that: North or zero degrees is up and that positive angles increase Clock-Wise.
Other not overlapping meanings largely depend on the field of interest.
For example:
Remark or 'bear in mind'
that the QCAD GUI displays angle values (mostly) in the Polar coordinate system.
Where zero degrees is right and positive angles increase Counter-Clock-Wise.

For example:
- 'Bearing 10' may mean 10 degrees to the right seen from the current forward direction.
Or where the 'Azimuth' may be a single point on certain map projections and the angle is expressed relative towards this point.
