Change Global Drawing Orientation

New User Question Coming from autocad 2010LT Is there a way to orient the drawing so that drawing a line north from 0,0 @100<0 draws the line up(north) rather than right(east)? I want to use LibreCAD to draw land section plats to export corner points to other software.

We can implement bearing support.

Before that, maybe you can draw everything the current way. In the end, "Ctl-A" to select everything, use Modify->Rotate to rotate everything 90 degrees.

That process to to error prone for drawing land section lines from a plat - having to convert all bearings without fat-fingering them.

I may have to look at other options.
