No, its not the stock COGO tool, COGOline.mbx is the stock tool, so you probably had an add on, you have to click the begging point every time and enter bearing, distance. Sounds like MapCOGO.MBX or Cogopoly_imp-270.mbx (imperial units) allows you to enter DMS or D.D and distances for continious lines, available in Metric version as well. MapCOGO is a bit clunky IMHO. I have attached cogopoly for you, though the list will not see it

Several years ago I was able to draw the boundaries of a region using Metes and Bounds - by specifying a start point, then entering distances (150.5' ) and angles (320°) in a box. Bingo, I had a line of the right length and direction. Then I could keep on adding till I got back where I started from. Problem is, I can't remember how I did it! Is this a MapInfo function? If so, will someone please refresh my memory on how to do it. If it isn't in MapInfo, does anyone know how to do it in "Canvas" by Deneba Software? Or could someone recommend a good program to use? Thanks!
