Measure the slope of a line?

I might have got this wrong, but Dimension Element will give you the slope in a 2D file.

that is the angle of the line, not the slope.

When i am looking at the "slope" of a line, I am generally talking about  the value m in the equation y=m*x + b.
See the "equation of a line".

Language problems. In Sweden slope could be expressed as degrees or percent.

The quest goes on!

This link has vba functions for calculating the slope and y intercept

The basic equation is: 

SlopeOfLine2D = (pt2Y - pt1Y) / (pt2X - pt1X)

Mary, I have confidence in your VBA programming skills that you can make this work.

Yes - this I can do. Time to make a tool.

for percentage slope  its x/y as pert

but for civil we also use H:1v  so you need to scale down in the equation to make the y or vertical to get 1 then use that ratio to reduce the x or Horizontal and if you used exaggeration you have to add that in too.. that's why I like the slope labeler mvba posted here and I can run it from F key  click once and get the answer and leave it as text or control z to remove the text...

so the vba is already written...
