BRG.LSP helps you place bearing and distance annotations in a drawing.

Len's second contribution, BRG.LSP (Tip #1933), helps you place bearing and distance annotations in a drawing. Select a line object, and the macro prompts you to supply the points to attach a callout that shows the bearing and distance of the line you just selected. This is a dandy tool for surveyors and map designers. Len used the DIMSCALE factor to determine how large to make the text. Harry added a comment next to that in the code in case you want to change the value.

Is is possible to use the LTSCALE factor to determine the size of the text?
