Measure the slope of a line?

Slope cannot be calculated in a 2d file. Slope is relationship of the change in elevation to the horizontal distance. There is no elevation in a 2d file. The provided basic macro requires a 3d file.

Not true. Macro reports a 2D slope based upon Delta Y/ Delta X but 3D slope based upon Delta length/Delta Z.

This version adds a place text above line in the middle - only uses 2D slope in this version.

CAD COP I have that one I think it was by Tim shoemaker of the TMC  but it is compiled version of bas and needs 2  macros but it only works in XM not  8i.. slopeset.ba and Slope.ba

the Slopeset.ba  works in 8i but not the label slope which is slope.ba,

Here is a vba I wrote many years ago, it does ratio/percent as allows for exag, and adding a negative in front of the number. The keyin is "vba run [slopelabler]startup.main". it does not factor the z in a line.

Looks like I spoke too soon,

I get run time error windows 7 , ustn ss1 but the dialog runs

Several years later, it turns out I would need a tool similar to this to speed up my work. I edited the VBA to calculate DeltaZ over line length. I commented out the old code and the "-" label because I did not need these for sidewalk ADA work. So if someone in the future needs this, see attached.

Edit: Not sure why the forum prefixed the file name with "0882"
