ReMark Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm running 2012 right now and tried to duplicate your problem but I couldn't. It works perfect for me each and every time. Maybe you had a back pick point. Or maybe you thought you drew the two lines at 90 deg but didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpme Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 can i have some tutorials of angle measurement that will be good for me to understand that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 You really don't need a tutorial per se. You start the ROTATE command and make sure your pick point is at the end of the line you are rotating. Did you make any changes in the UNITS window re: angles, direction or precision? When you pick the end of the line did you use an OSnap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Turn on your OSNAP for endpoint, and ORTHO so you know what you are drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eldon Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I am not sure why you are confused. The screen shots show the angle between two lines, not the angle that has been turned. If you have two lines at an angle of 90°, and rotate one line by 48°, then the angle now between the lines is (90° - 48°) = 42° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpme Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 ohhhhhhh so how exactly does it works what if i want 48deg what should i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 What if you want the angle between the two lines to be 48 deg? 90 minus 42 = what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpme Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Mr Remark so the angle i mention using dynamic input is right...... the angle measure is showing only the left out space.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 eldon explained what was happening when you posted the image in post #6. I'm not sure what else needs to be explained. What are you trying to accomplish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Your original message says 48 and 44 degrees... apparently that was supposed to read 48 and 42 degrees, which makes more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm still trying to determine if it is the resultant angle between the two lines the OP is interested in or the angle of the line itself. Either way I think you (nestly) and eldon have covered both. I don't see what else there is to say here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Perhaps you should start by drawing one line. Then you could rotate a copy of that line by 48°, and then you have two lines at an angle of 48° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpme Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thank you very much nestly remark and eldon god bless you with lot of happinesss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
