Labeling profile in degrees

[jbokic]

Is there a way to label a profile tangent line in degrees instead of slope or rise/run?  I can't find an option for it using the default template styles.

There isn't a label in the default templates that does this, but if you make an Expression you can add that label. The expression you need is the Arc Tangent of the grade ATAN({Tangent Grade}) and return the value as an angle.

Sorry, forgot to update my posting.

That is what I ended up doing, although the final formula ended up as RAD2DEG(ATAN({Surface Slope})) to get the final result in degrees rather than radians.

Still, thanks for the response and the option to do this within the program.

If you set the return to be "Angle" instead of "Double" you shouldn't need to convert to degrees.

True, and it does give me options for formatting in deg-min-sec.  Is there a way to have it display in decimal degrees instead?

By default "Angle" will format in decimal degrees.

Well that was silly of me, thank you!
