automated scheduling of CAD DMS info

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.
