If I had written 150<-330 at step 2, it will give the same result. Where 150 is the length of the line and 30 is the angle the line makes with zero.

Click Undo on the Quick Access toolbar to cancel the entire series of line segments: Press Enter or Esc when done or enter c to close a series of line segments. To undo the previous line segment, enter u at the prompt. This gets very dicey when dealing with very steep slopes due to the closeness. Right now I have to draw the line, check the distance in properties, than use the contours I have in the drawing to get my elevation, and than calculate slope off of that. AutoCAD 2016, AutoCAD Architecture 2016, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016, AutoCAD Electrical 2016, AutoCAD MEP 2016, AutoCAD Map 3D 2016, AutoCAD Mechanical 2016, AutoCAD P&ID 2016, AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016, AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2016, & AutoCAD Utility Design 2016. You can end an active command by using the. If after entering the starting point for a line you type: 6,6 and hit enter, you will draw a line that is at an angle of degrees. Continue specifying additional line segments. I am trying to find the slope of a drawn polyline in a faster way than I am currently doing it. When drawing a line using polar coordinates, you need to know the line's. Well, in AutoCAD 2011 all this can be done in a single step.

To draw the line of 150 units, you will have to ( Here is how to change units in AutoCAD) Find Specify the start point and end point of the line segment by clicking in the drawing area. A classical way to draw an object that is the same or similar to the one in your drawing would be to activate the right layer first, then perhaps to make the right Text or Dimension style current, and then finally use the right command. To draw a line in AutoCAD you can use the command line length
