do not know if this has been asked? But, does anyone know how to make mcam, output anglur lines as deg/min. rather than deg/dec.?..I know that you can set globals to output this, but that only works with dimensioning, from what i know. now, when mcam prompts you to enter an angle, in(create/line/polar). it reads it as deg/dec. how do i make it read deg/min?. any help is appreciated...using mcam8.1.1
