Does anyone have an indicator that works like a compass??

[ssmith490D]

I'm looking for an indicator that will show compass heading. The gauge indicator has zero at the bottom instead of the top. Thanks in advance.

You can grab the markers on the dial and drag them around the edge to orient them where you want them. You can also set them with a property node. This will give you a fixed dial scale, with a needle pointing the heading. See the attached. Hope I've understood your question.

Next,

pop-up and choose

properties >>> Text labels

Check "use text labels for scale markers"

Un-check "sequential values"

then enter;

0 ->
90 -> E
180 -> S
270 -> W
360 -> N

and you have a good old fashioned compass. See attched image.

Matt--
Thanks a lot for the help.

This was VERY helpful for me. But here is some info to clarify a bit.

Go into Properties. Change the scale to 0 min and 360 max. Exit properties.

Move cursor over the Zero. It will change. Now click/drag the zero to the top. Move cursor to 360 and click/drag it over the Zero.

Go back into Properties and follow Ben's advise about the text labels

Good Luck
