hp prime - deg to rad/rad to deg

[BrendanSC]

I've looked through the user's manual and tried googling, looking through forums, etc and I still can't figure out how to convert radians to degrees and vise-versa. I know the formula, but it'd be kind of nice to save that step while field surveying. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hi,

You can do it using CONVERT:

e.g. CONVERT(25_DEG,1_RAD)  converts 25 degrees to 0.4363.. radians

Press "Shift, Units, Tools"; highlight "CONVERT" and press "Help". There is a great tip. For example enter 60_deg "Shift, Sto" _rad to convert degrees to radians. You can type _rad and _deg or find them under item G Angle in the Units menu after pressing "Shift, Units". Easy peasy.
