Label Polyline Slope/Distance

This command calculates the slope and distance of a line, polyline segment, an entire polyline, or pair of points, as drawn on a profile. There are options to label the slope and distance. If the labels are turned off, this command can be used to just report the profile slope and distance. The distance is the horizontal distance between the profile stations.

Horizontal Scale:Specify the horizontal scale of the profile grid.
Vertical Scale:Specify the vertical scale of the profile grid.
Text Size Scaler:Specify the text size scaler which is multiplied by the Horizontal Scale.
Symbol Size Scaler: Specify the symbol size scaler which is multiplied by the Horizontal Scale.
Layer: Layer name for the labels.
Style: Text style for the labels.
Slope and Distance Decimals:Specify the display precision for the slope labels and distance labels.
Label Symbol:When checked, the degree symbol or percent sign will be used in the label.
Label Arrow:When checked, a slope direction arrow will be included.
Arrow Scaler: Specify the arrowhead size scaler which is multiplied by the Horizontal Scale.
Label Minus Sign:Will label a minus sign on negative slopes.
Slope Prefix/Suffix: Strings to add to the slope value for the slope label.
Distance Prefix/Suffix: Strings to add to the distance value for the distance label.
Label Format: Choose whether to label slope and distance.
Slope Format:Specify how to label the profile slopes. The automatic settings means to use a percent label for any slope less than 10%. and a ratio for any slope greater that 10%.
Label Method:Choose to label the entire profile at once or to pick individual segments.
Reduce Profile Points:When checked, the number of labels created on the profile will be reduced based on the Offset Distance value. Applies only to the Entire Polyline selection option..
Offset Distance:Specify maximum offset between profile vertices. Only available when Reduce Profile Points toggle is checked on.
