  • Thanks Mapperz. My question should have been when the bearing of a line is calculated using the "Add Geometry Attribute (LINE_BEARING)" tool, is the bearing referenced to Grid North or True North? – Adeleke Adejobi Jul 3 '20 at 13:42

Existing field that will be populated with the true north calculation value in decimal degrees.

Note:

rotation_method (optional)

  • GEOGRAPHIC —Angle is calculated clockwise with 0 at top. This is the default.
  • ARITHMETIC —Angle is calculated counterclockwise with 0 at right.
  • GRAPHIC —Angle is calculated counterclockwise with 0 at top.
