Conventions of the Measure Tool
The Measure tool reports an angle associated with every line it finds, according to the following conventions:
• For the line defined by two points, the tool measures the angle between the line and the horizontal axis. The tool
assigns a positive or negative value to the angle, depending on the line's direction. Angles are positive if measured
