Degree of curvature label

[Anonymous]

Ok... I think I am either having a severe brain fart or I just am missing something (the brain part). I am trying to create an expression so that I can put the Dc into my alignment curve label. I am using (5729.58/Radius) for the expression and using Double for the format which comes out fine in decimal form as in a curve with a 200' R comes out to be 28.6479º, the problem is that I need it to come out as Angular DMS... when I switch the format to angle it comes back as 1641º24'14". What am I missing.

when i did this we had to divide by a number.... give me a few minutes to open the file that contains the expression

In the Edit Expression Dialogue box:

Expression: ASIN(50/Radius)*2
Format result as: Angle

Make sure in the Label Style Composer you have the units and format correct. When i played with this i had the issue of the label reverting back to Decimal form, i would have to go back and specify the units again to get it to show as DMS.

Still one issue that I am seeing, it is pulling the chord Dc, need the Arc. Any ideas?

Hi Dustin,

How to access the “Edit Expression Dialogue box”?

Me neither, I couldn’t label the curve with the degree of curvature in degree/minute/second (attached)

how this can be accomplished?
