    Default rotation angle doesn't match the angle inquiry

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I have a property line that is N 36d19'52" E but needs to be N 12d52'18" E. The obvious and calculated rotation angle would be 23d27'34" but when I rotate the line by the calculated angle it doesn't rotate to the right angle. It's off by 0d11'10"!? When I draw a line by bearing at N12d52'18" E and inquiry the angle between the property line and the drawn line the angle difference is in fact 23d27'34".

    Is there a setting I have selected that I don't know I selected. I am in US survey feet, degrees, dd.mmss.ss
