Angle drawing symbol

Hi,  Can anyone tell me what the symbol in the attached drawing is known as?

I have always referred to it as a 'bevel gauge' but I would like to know if there are any other names for it.

 

Update, I've just round the following reference:

 

Inclination - The inclination of one member to another or the slope of a member in relation to a given plane is shown by means of a small triangle adjacent to the member (looks roughly like this):

 

         |\

         |  \

 1000|    \

         |      \

         |____\

            250

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Also check out the Slope or Taper symbols in the Annotation symbols.

Thanks for the reply. It's very close to what I was looking for but not quite. I vaguely remember years ago some discussion on this topic, users looking for a tool to represent this that didn't exist within the software. My current solution is to create a sketch in a view that i then annotate with text and dimensions.

Create Sketched Symbols for anything that you need.
