How to draw lines with distance And angle in AutoCAD

There are two methods to draw lines with angle and distance
1- By aligning UCS
2- With rotate command
In UCS method we align the X axis of our UCS to our reference line
and then we draw the required line by using distance and angle
To align your UCS type in command bar UCS and press enter then
select the origin point from which is start point of your reference line
select X axis which is end point of your reference line and click at right
side to set the XY plan.
Tale line command and select base point and type the length of your
line and press tab key from your keyboard to lock the line and activate
the angle box.
Enter the value of your angle such as 145d45’55” don’t give any space
between values of angle and hit enter and you will see that line is drawn.
For every line repeat the same process and you will have your desired figure.
And in rotate method we draw a line along the reference line and then
we rotate our line to the required angle, for clock wise rotation we use
- sign with angle value and for antilock wise rotation we don’t use any
sign with angle because by default it plus.
To rotate the line give rotate command RO and press enter from
keyboard after that select object and hit enter again then select your
base point and give the value of angle as stated above and press enter
to complete the rotation. Repeat the same process for all the lines to get
the job done
