Hello Phil & Calvin,

Thanks very much to you both for those tips.

The Vector Shake Tools options were good but required some extra work to transfer the new information to the existing layer.  I think I could have made it work but then found one of the options in Stack Exchange to be exactly what was needed.

This is it:

"And now it is even easier than Kay's answer -first use 'explode lines' tool, yielding all line segments, then calculate azimuth with field calculator: *main_angle($geometry)*".

This is brilliant, it can be used to populate an attribute field in the table or directly in a label formula as desired.  Exactly the solution I was looking for!

Thanks very much to you both, this is a great resource…

--------
Cheers, Spring

Subject: [Qgis-user] Labeling Lines with Bearings

Hello,

I need to put the line direction (azimuth) into a line label. Some searching 
has not come up with anything.

Is there a way?  Thanks very much . . . .
