Abe:
try these threads for starters.

see post #48 to start
These threads discuss how to set the North Pointer so that the left boundary line on your survey would be set at 90 degrees to the screen and also how to the arc at top of the survey.

Certainly would help if it had directions on it. N36'00"E that stuff. Did a surveyor do that ? If so they need to finish...

Al:
good point, it was late and I didn't zoom in on it.
My partner, has done as Don suggested and import the survey in either as a .dwg or a .jpg and then traced over it after scaling the image.
