Angle Rounding Dialog Box

Used to set angle rounding types 1, 2 and 3.

The dialog box is displayed after selecting the Configure/Angles command and then selecting the appropriate rounding button in the Angle Configuration dialog box.

The options available in the Angle Rounding dialog box will depend on the angle unit type (Sexagesimal degrees, Decimal degrees, Gons) selected in the Configure/Units command.

Distances Below

Enter the distance ranges for which the corresponding rounding settings are to be applied.

Rounded To

Select the rounding to be used for the corresponding distance ranges. Generally speaking the longer the distance range the smaller the rounding value should be as for shorter lines the error effect is greater.

The default rounding entered will be used for any ranges not specified and also for polygon angles. When angle rounding is applied to internal polygon angles the shortest of the two lines defining the angle will determine which rounding is used.

Zero Minutes

Set whether rounded bearings which are a whole number of degrees should have the minutes displayed.

These fields are only available if sexagesimal angle units have been set in the Configure/Units command.

Zero minutes are displayed if the check box is active. For example 25° would display as 25° 00'.

Zero Seconds

Set whether rounded bearings which are a whole number of minutes should have the seconds displayed.

These fields are only available if sexagesimal angle units have been set in the Configure/Units command.

Zero seconds are displayed if the check box is active. For example 25° 15' would display as 25° 15' 00".

OK

Save any changes made and return operation to the Configure Angles dialog box.
