in LibreCAD, the dares in the coordinate system increase in an an anticlockwise direction, starting at the righthand end of the X-axis. However, when LibreCAD is used to draw up a site plan the angles of boundaries of properties are derived from true north which is conventionally shown on a plan as vertically above the origin and degrees increase in a clockwise direction. There seems to be no way in LibreCAD of converting from one coordinate system to the other. Yet this should be considered a fundamental requirement of a CAD system that is targeted at architecture or planning. Have I missed something?
