ucs z 13 might help

 

Not sure how rotating the ucs 13 will help? To go down that route surely would be long winded, but will require the following:

 

Command: ucs

Current ucs name: *WORLD*

Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis]

: z

Specify rotation angle about Z axis : -45

Command: plan

Enter an option [Current ucs/Ucs/World] : C

Regenerating model.

Command: l

LINE Specify first point:

Specify next point or [undo]: 13

Specify next point or [undo]:

Command: ucs

Current ucs name: *NO NAME*

Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis]

: w

Command: plan

Enter an option [Current ucs/Ucs/World] : C

Regenerating model.

: Z

Specify rotation angle about Z axis : 13

How difficult is tthat takes less than a second

Not difficult I know, but you're not answering the OP's question and are giving misleading information- you're rotating 13° when the OP wants a line 13 long at an angle of -45°.

 

You really change the UCS for every line you draw?

[davebate]

I know th length of the line that's at an angle is 13' but I don't know which coordinates will get me there. sorry i was trying to help this is in the thread and a statement that was made

You do know that 13' is 13 foot, not 13 degrees?

 

Is it possible to enter a line as an angle without knowing the @ #,# and only knowing the line distance?

 

Ok, just so I better understand, if I have a 13' long line and I want it at an angle I will type 0,0 then ENTER and type 13,13 ENTER?

[davebate]

sorry mate read the thread re references to degrees very confusing to a 25 year amiter like my self have you now gon back to the dark ages feet and inches

[GE13579]

No worries Dave the line you referenced was a little misunderstanding... but be careful about coining feet and inches as being from the dark ages... our colleagues across the pond might not take lightly to that (imperial measurement is standard in the US and also in some disciplines in the UK I think?).

[davebate]

ok i was trying to help having a bad day but much apprecated for you response

hope the day gets better wont happen again

[GE13579]

No worries I always get things wrong here!
