This weekend I was playing around with a data set. Trying some new things. Had a site that had some elevation change and grabbed or picked a few points around the site and drew a linestring pretending all the points I chose were property corners. I used the smart text to label the lines bearing and distances like I would if i were doing it for a plat. I had already used the points report thing so i could see the cf . All my data was still grid. So i was trying to use smart text with a formula to change the displayed distance to a ground distance. But as i was looking i saw TBC already had that option as a choice. So i edited the text label style for line and had the bearing distance grid and added a prefix with ground distance so GRND 213.45. For example. Of course it was play time and I was fidgety so I was just playing around. But as I drove into the office this morning and the coffee had just enough in me to start to get the wheels turning I thought well why would I ever need to scale again if all the end goal is to display a distance at ground. So someone who is following me without gps or whatever could retrace my steps. Anyone used that function as it has many other uses i have learned. Am I missing anything on why this would be bad.
