<p>Aha, thanks Kirk. That's why my lines are not as I intended.
This probably affects making the lines with the Shape Tool.</p>
<p>Yes, it seems to draw in grid north, angle_main reports in True
DD. The map is 26907, UTM 7N.</p>
<p>I calculated the difference between as drawn and as reported and
used that to change the input figure. It works OK, not exact as
the convergence varies with longitude, I believe.</p>
<p>Thanks Kirk . . . .<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I need to put the line direction (azimuth) into a line label. Some
<br>
searching has not come up with anything.<br>
<br>
Is there a way? Thanks very much . . . .<br>
<br>

Cheers, Spring<br>
