    Lets try this first. Polar tracking turn off, object snap turn off (this is most likely the problem), these will be under tools - drafting settings.

    I have a question. Why the -1 in polar?

    The theodolite measures angles clockwise, AutoCad, anticlockwise so this corrects the layout error. In the past we copied and flipped, but that is not so handy with text.

    Turning off as suggested has got it! Thanks once again.

    In units there is a switch to do that but it only works when you draw by hand in code you have to subtract 360.

    I wrote a lisp program once that we had that problem on took about 2 days to figure it out. It worked correctly on 18 just a lot of dots on 6, it was during a roll out for 52 pcs, now that is the first thing I check when problems show up inconsistent from my pc to another CAD pc.

    As I said, AutoCad is not a programme I use at all, but maybe learning some of this script code might help production in the office, although we don't do a lot of this type of plot. I'll be having a close look at this in due course.
