Direction-Based Line Commands
The next few commands help you specify the direction of a line. Each of these commands
requires you to choose a start point for your line before you can specify the line direction. You
can specify your start point by physically choosing a location, using an osnap, or using one of
the point-related line commands discussed earlier.

The Create Line By Bearing command will likely be one of your most frequently used line
commands.
This command prompts you for a start point, followed by prompts to input the Quadrant,
Bearing, and Distance values. You can enter values on the command line for each input, or you
can graphically choose inputs by picking them on screen. The glyphs at each stage of input
guide you in any graphical selections. After creating one line, you can continue drawing lines
by bearing, or you can switch to any other method by clicking one of the other Line By com-
mands on the Draw panel (see Figure 1.18).

The Create Line By Azimuth command prompts you for a start point, followed by a north azi-
muth, and then a distance (Figure 1.19).
