Organic Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I wish to determine the angle between two lines (that meet). I know how to do this manually, although does AutoCAD have a buitl in command similar the DI command maybe, or can someone recommend a LISP? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxwellEdison Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 From the command line it's DIMANGULAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 From the command line it's DIMANGULAR. I have a custom keybind for it (DA) since I use it just as often as I use D for Dist (boy oh boy do I get annoyed with my collegues workstations where D is Dimstyle ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Tiger, you really should organise yourself with a migratable profile :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankman Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Nah, I just change D to DIST on every comp I can lay my hands on. Does this confuse the unknowing? Or, do you leave 'em a sticky note? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Does this confuse the unknowing? Or, do you leave 'em a sticky note? I doubt that any of them ever have used D DImstyle, or even that they'll use D for Dist...but I usually don't change stuff without them knowing...usually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 DIMANGULAR works, although currently displays "28d" etc, so how do I make it more accurate, i.e. "28d12'3"" etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 go into DIMSTYLE (as in DI ) and change the Precision (under Primary Values) value to ..well, something else..I'd say 0.00 but I'm a decimal chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 go into DIMSTYLE (as in DI ) and change the Precision (under Primary Values) value to ..well, something else..I'd say 0.00 but I'm a decimal chick It might be a bug with my version, but if I want to display 12°15'35", I have to choose the Precision of 0d00'00.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry2104 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 i know DIMANGULAR command will let me draw a dimension to display the angle between two lines, but is there a way for my commandbar to show me what the angle is rather than draw a dimension? I often want to simply know the angle but not display it in the drawing, and it'd be good if there was a command/lisp which showed me in the commandline area, or perhaps a pop up window, similar to what the TLEN lisp does here: www.turvill.com/t2/free_stuff/tlen.lsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
