Is there a built in function for calulating the angle from x1,y1-x2,y2?

You can use trigonometry (acos, asin, atan) or you can use the built in atanfull(x1-x2,y1-y2) to get an angle in the range of 0-360. It is in the manual.

Perfect, thanks! I new I saw it in there somewhere with DBC, but couldn't remember the syntax.

As far as the manual goes...I tried for about an hour to find it before posting. I have a hard time with the semi-alphabetical index...my head hurts after looking at it too long.
