Rotation calculator

This is a spreadsheet that's useful for calculating the angle difference between two bearings. This is particularly useful when redrawing parcels and rotating parcels from different plats/deeds to fit together.

Here's a good workflow: "start editing" one of the shapes select all the vertices drag one vertex to its counterpart on the feature you're matching switch to the "create feature" tool for either a line or polygon class add a vertex on the matched corner bring the excel spreadsheet in to focus in arcmap, mouse over a different shared vertex on the feature you'll rotate enter the letters/numbers from the status bar in to the spreadsheet mouse over the counterpart to the second vertex enter the second row of letters/numbers select the rotate tool in arcmap hit ctrl-z to undo adding the vertex hit 'a' to bring up the angle entry for the rotate tool enter the numbers from the highlighted row, with dashes between them the negative sign is in the field in front of the first number, so don't miss it

The file is stored in S:Technology Services/Chad/various spreadsheets probably
