This topic applies to ArcGIS for Desktop Standard and ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced only.

Steps:

1. Click the Course Type drop-down arrow and click Direction–Distance.
2. Type a direction.

The Traverse window uses degrees measured counterclockwise from east by default. You can change the angular measuring system and units on the Units tab of the Editing Options dialog box.

3. Type a distance.

The Traverse window uses the data frame's coordinate system units of measurement by default. You can use an abbreviation to enter different distance units.

4. Click Add.
