Blake,
This is getting strange. ACAD R11 has the same bug.

Here is my ACAD R11 test drawing. I put in a point 25 degrees 2.0488 minutes
with 7.1640 inch radius, drew a line through it and  measured it with the 
dim function. This is what I got. At least the radius came out right.

Looks like we will have to convert the angles to x & y coordinates
and plot the holes based on those dimensions if you are going to
use the drawing with a program that converts the drawing directly to 
an NC machine tool G code program.

I notice the circle shows up as an oval on the screen.
Perhaps this is related to the problem.
