  • BEARING is a way of describing a direction, noting a quadrant and angle.
  • The four quadrants are 1) Northeast 2) Southeast 3) Southwest and 4) Northwest.
  • Imagine a line drawn north-south.  The bearing angle sweeps from that line into a quadrant.
  • To run: you may type BEARING as a command, or find the button highlighted in yellow above.
  • The BEARING command prompts the user to select a line, then labels the line’s bearing information (above the line) as well as length information (below the line).
