Default load line distance and azimuth from ascii file

I can load lines from an ascii file using coordinates, but is it possible to load lines from an ascii file using distance and azimuth or perhaps bearing?

The problem I am trying to solve involves property boundaries that are legally defined by distances and azimuths that are relative to astronomic north, but need to be displayed on maps using UTM coordinates. I was hoping to be able to enter a starting point in lat/long or UTM coordinates, list the property boundary from that point by distances and azimuths, then change the projection to the relevant UTM projection. In this case the distances would be in meters.

Thanks in advance,
David
