I am looking for a macro to label an arc, specifically the Chord Length and the Chord Bearing. I found one that someone made on here a while back that labels most properties of the arc but not the Chord.
I am new to vba writing and am struggling mightily to get the chord to come in.
Any help would be appreciated.

A picture is worth 1,000 words. Please post a screen-shot, or small DGN model, that illustrates what you want to measure.
The VBA ArcElement object has properties Length, StartPoint and EndPoint. If by 'chord' you mean the vector from start to end, then you can construct a new Vector3d using Vector3dSubtractPoint3dPoint3d.
Dim oArc As ArcElement ... get oArc from somewhere Dim length As Double length = oArc.Length Dim azimuth As Vector3d azimuth = Vector3dSubtractPoint3dPoint3d ( _ oArc.StartPoint, oArc.EndPoint) Dim north As Vector3d north = Vector3dFromXY (0, 1) Dim radians AS Double radians = Vector3dAngleBetweenVectorsXY (azimuth, north) Debug.Print "Bearing=" & CStr (Degrees (radians))
