I have to create polygons at specific angles. However, I realised (by creating a square that should be 90° aligned to N) that the numbers are probably radians? Inputting 90 results in a "wonky" square. Inputting a 100 it goes straight east, inputting 200 it goes straight south. 

I went to the options and under Units it is set to Degree, and under Directions to North Azimuth. What else needs changing so I can use degrees here? My CRS is a UTM. Couldn't find any other settings to change this.

Ok, I found where to change it - didn't realise you can and have to change the format of the Direction under options - it was set to a wrong format and changing it to decimal degrees solved the issue.
