You can then edit and create new feature with it. As you draw a line, the distance and bearing will be shown. You can also us it to draw a line over an existing line of unknown bearing to get its bearing.</P> Fri, 02 Dec 2022 21:55:18 GMT BENNYROBERTS 2022-12-02T21:55:18Z draw/determine bearing https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/draw-determine-bearing/m-p/1213556#M4035 <P>I would like to be able to draw lines with a particular bearing (or direction) and to be able to determine the bearing of existing lines. What is the best way to do this?</P> Fri, 16 Sep 2022 19:36:17 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/draw-determine-bearing/m-p/1213556#M4035 Paul_E 2022-09-16T19:36:17Z Re: draw/determine bearing https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/draw-determine-bearing/m-p/1237427#M4175 <P>Paul, to do this I created a line shapefile.

It sounds easy but I am not seeing what you are seeing.&nbsp; I tried adjusting the settings under Customize&gt; Arc Map Settings, but without success. I<SPAN>&nbsp;need more information to figure this out.&nbsp;</SPAN></P><P>1) Where on your screen is the distance and bearing being shown? In the lower right hand corner?</P><P>2) What version are you using? ( I am using ArcMap version 10.8.1.)</P><P>3) What&nbsp; license level are you at?&nbsp; Basic, standard or advanced?</P> Mon, 05 Dec 2022 13:04:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/draw-determine-bearing/m-p/1237732#M4177 Paul_E 2022-12-05T13:04:41Z
