How to label line slope/grade

[draftingjenny]

I am working on a profile and need to label my lines with a % grade/slope.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi draftingjenny-

Is this by chance what you are looking for?

Not quite, I know there was a simple way to just select the line and the percent just showed up....

If I pick a line, something like +/- 1.42% will be put above the line.

go to Toolspace > Settings > Profile > Label Styles > Line

There you find

Slope 1 in X

or

Percent grade

Having tuned the settings of this label style, go to your profile view, click on your design profile, right click for Edit Labels.

In the window that opens, select Line in the Type drop list, and then Add Slope 1 in X or Percent Grade to have these label styles in the list.

This shall add the grade on each line of your profile, either in percent or in ratio.

Can you label in degrees as well??

I never used labels in degrees but I assume we can:

-in Toolspace, Settings, Profile, Label styles, Line,  select Expressions

-name the expression Degree and built the expression from the inverse sinus of the straight tangent (do not forget the radians to degrees function)

-right click Line, create a new label style called Degree Style or something

-in the style window, Tab Layout, Content Text, select your expression Degree in the drop list and insert to your right panel with settings

-in the drawing, select the profile, select labels, select line and then select your new style

This may work with a bit of fine tuning...

Did you ever get an expression to work for this?  Would you kindly share if you did?
