    Default Inverse Trig functions in families

    Anybody know how to use an inverse trig function within a formula - the syntax section of help doesn't cover it?

    How to use them or what the valid abbreviations are?
    Arcsine—asin
    Arccosine—acos
    Arctangent—atan

    Can you give us some context for the question?

    If you have a Rise and a Run parameter, for example, and then you want those 2 to calculate a roof slope, simply type "atan(Rise/Run)" in the formula field for your angle parameter, and that will get you the roof slope angle.
