I'm with most of the others in that it makes little difference to me. An angle left is just a negative (-) angle right.
It only comes up a few times when it is the requirement of an ALTA.
It reminds me of the time a drawing was returned by the local county reviewer because the North Arrow pointed to the right. I asked where in the ordinance it stated it could not be so and was told that "everyone" knows that the drafting standards are that they can only point up or to the left. ? Huh? It was a real PinTA to change the border all around. I fail to see how it makes any difference. But then again, it was like trying to explain what a basis of bearing is to the know-it-all caller who wants to know if he can use his Garmin GPS to run his lines...I digress..
Wondered about this a number of times. If first calls a hard distances, and the last call is a more-or-=less or a call to a riparian feature then I have gone counter-clockwise. I cannot remember where the clockwise got drilled into me, but have gone counter several times for those reasons and am stil lwaiting to be struck down by a bolt of lightning.
> I'm not sure I would even know that it were written that way. I data enter so many deeds I don't watch the screen or the keypad, just the calls. If it closed I'd have no further reason to look at it.
Really?
Interesting response.
