Is there any simple formula to calculate batter of a structure such as 1 to 10 to arrive at a degree off vertical?

I use a degree-calculater in the www, or Excel.
In ACAD there's IMHO no way. I would draw the slope in % and trim the lines...

Or, knowing that the tangent of the angle is equal to the rise divided by the run, calculate it. AutoCAD understands tangents and the inverse. On the command line, type CAL [space] then atan(1/20) [ENTER]. AutoCAD tells you the angle in the current units.

thanks for the calculator tip. ACAD can more than "+" and "-"
But I can't use it while drawing a line...?
_line -> first point -> < 'cal ... doesn't work

atan(1/10.0) 10:1 batter
atan(1/20.0) 20:1 batter
