Plotting lot lines

Hi yakas.

This should be relatively easy to do.
First translate from "survey jargon" :-)

Line lengths can be entered into MoI.
The angles need to be "translated," Then they can be entered into MoI.
Using the origin as the start point, MoI angles are measured counter clockwise from the +x axis.
So for N (North) add 90 degrees to 33 degrees, 52 minutes, 31 seconds, and further translate to decimal degrees
"Angular measurements are commonly expressed in units of degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS). One degree equals 60 minutes, and one minute equals 60 seconds. To simplify some mathematical calculations you may want to express angular measurements in degrees and decimal fractions of degrees. "

Pick a Start Point, and lay out Line1, with the translated angle.
Line2 starts at the end of line1. (I believe.)
Line3 starts at the ent of line2. etcetera for the rest of the Lines.

I believe the curve center is at the StartPoint. (?)
Here is a reference to "delta angle"

If you need more help, I can look at it in more detail later. Got to go do some work now.
