Gid to ground is a scale factor. So you can enter everything with the given
bearings and distances, then when you're done, use the "Scale Feature"
tool. To do that correctly you need to know the point where the combined
factor is applied. Hold the control key while clicking that point and then
enter the combined factor in the box in the upper right corner. If you
don't know the point where the combined factor is calculated, pick a point
near the center of your feature(s), not the origin of the coordinate system
(0, 0).
