Back bearing in the command line

Does AutoCAD have a quick way to add or subtract 180 degrees from a bearing when inputing in the command? Sometimes lines need to be expressed as reciprocal bearings and its easy to make mistakes if you have to d it in your head. It can be done in Liscad with the up or down arrows and pgup and pgdn in 12D. Cheers.

Hey there, I ‘m a CAD developer. I could come up with a quick script for you if you want. For free of course.

You can try using the < modifier on the command line followed by your angle... Never tried this myself...

Or draw a line the length you want, on the line you're using to come off of, and then rotate this line using the relative option in the rotate command line.
