Quadrant Option for Bearing input in Geometry/Lines

Geometry/Lines requires you to enter the bearing value as S45d30'30"E which is way too many key strokes and unproductive. Geometry Builder allows us to enter the same bearing using the quadrant method (245.3030) which is much faster/easier and ali...
