I have no idea if this is helpful to anyone. But as a builder that lays out his own projects, it's a huge time saver. It can be done with as few as 3 macros. This is a CAD layer view with a simple polyline rectangle. Real application I would send a house plan footprint or CAD detail from view to CAD, cut and paste it into a saved "DMS Detail" then start dropping my Notes on points. You have to set up your Notes and add some custom fields to attach the macros, but it's pretty cut and dry. There's an Azimuth or Bearing macro, which are redundant if you don't care about NSEW. There's an X and Y macro (not displayed) if you need to know your grid locations pertinent to Chief. Holler if you need help setting up Notes. DMS.json

Update. I still can't get the Angle information into a schedule unless it's on a 2D Symbol. Then the line is so small you can't see the angle on it. You can't use a Room Divider as it's snap and connects to a wall. The line needs to snap to a foundation/block corner to give correct length and DMS.

Thanks Coop. We also figured out sprinklers work. Fun fact: 8yo Brian Ingram, the kid that found some of DB Cooper's cash in 1980, lives in the same town as me, Mena, AR. He's doing well, lays flooring for a living and still gets contracted to go to events and show off a few burnt bills the FBI let him keep.

Project export and screen shots Good day, I'm a builder and draft my own work. I'm trying to streamline getting the data for my site work of laying out foundations. I use a theodolite with DMS and a tape to lay out the footings and then pin the block corners for my masons. Assembling the data to do this is cumbersome. On the foundation layer I use a CAD line to draw from XY 0,0 to all the corners of the foundation block. A CAD line easily presents the distance and angle but doesn't seem to have information that can extrapolated to a schedule. The first question is: Can that be done? Can I build a schedule to get CAD Line's information? I've tried using a general framing member and can get the formatted distance into the schedule but I can't figure out the macro to get angle into the schedule. There is clearly Angle information for general framing members (as seen in the screen shot), but if I run a Object Properties macro on the framing member, there is no "angle" macro. Object Properties on a CAD line results in evaluation error. I've included the pictures and .caproj in the link as it's too large to upload directly. Thanks for your time and consideration.
