Hello everyone,
I'm on driftsight 2018
I modified the setting of incremental angles for the display of polar guides to have directly an angel at 45° and to be able to draw polygigns in different directions but when I ask for example: 5 meters at 45° and I validate, my line comes back either vertical or horizontal but does not stay at 45°?
What can be done to keep it at 45°?
Thank you in advance for your answers
Hello
Did you activate the polar guides (F10 key)?
I just tested, it works very well. You click a first point, you place yourself on the guide in the desired direction, you type the dimension and you validate.
Hello, be careful in Autocad (it may be the same at this level) you can configure several different snaps and therefore be careful to use the one you want to configure! (e.g. don't configure the 1 when you use the 4) cdt
See attached file to understand
Hello
I also have the same problem on the 2018 version, but not on the 2015 version.
Indeed, I do not understand the problem. Sometimes it works, and in 99% of cases, it doesn't. If qlq'1 knows the same problem and especially the solution, I'm interested
Hello
I also have this problem and the only solution I have found to get around this problem is to position yourself on the desired angle, type your distance and before entering is to press the shift key briefly and then you can enter and there it works. The Shift key allows you to switch from orto to polar mode and suddenly it must debug it.
I have the same problem with too brief a visibility of the angle guide and if I want a downward angle it is the opposite.??? (Draftsight on Windows 7)
Is there a way to visualize the angle differently? , (nothing about this in the window at the bottom)
To enter a known distance and angle from a point, you can do so directly in the command bar:
The at sign means that your click point dimension, 200 is your length and 45 is your angle (in the trigonometric direction ).
The same order without the at-sign will start from the reference zero point.
For a distance, it will be @10.2,8.5 (where 10.2 is the distance to X and 8.5 is the distance to Y).
Thank you Philippe! I followed the procedure well, but...: I need an angle of 224° from a horizontal. The corner line should appear downwards to the right outside it is systematically created at 44°, i.e. on the opposite side!?
Do you type the @ correctly?
224°, this gives you a line that goes to the bottom left of your origin rather (unless you have checked "clockwise" in the unit options).
Yes I type @ well.
If I enter the coordinates without clicking on the start it seems to work, unless I'm looking for a 90° angle with respect to the line that draws the angle. ("clockwise" is unchecked.)
