UCS Angular degrees

[Michaels]

Hello,

 

I have a drawing which the UCS is rotated to a specific angle .

 

How can I know the rotation (angle degree) of that UCS ?

 

Many Thanks.

this should return the angle in degrees of the X direction of the current UCS relative to the WCS (if the UCS has been rotated around the Z axis)

(/ (* (angle '(0 0 0) (getvar "ucsxdir")) 180.0) pi)

or if you prefer a string

(angtos (angle '(0 0 0) (getvar "ucsxdir")) 0 4)

Thanks a lot.

 

You codes return ( 0.0 ) as a new drawing angle settings. I wonder why.

 

Could you please give me another solution ?

 

Sincerely.

You codes return ( 0.0 ) as a new drawing angle settings. I wonder why.

New drawing? Probably doesn't have a UCS. Turn on your UCS icon to see what direction the current CS is actually pointing

Hope you don't mind to take a look at the attached image ?

 

Thank you Sir.

It appears that you are currently in the WCS (see the square on the UCS icon?)... try UCS > View, then run the line of code

 

Actually this may be easier, try this instead

(angtos (getvar "viewtwist") 0 4)

(angtos (angle '(0 0 0) (getvar "ucsxdir")) 0 4)

 

 

Yes. This one that you added after two replies.

Did give me the accurate angle degree in a string.which is the one that I am looking for.

 

(angtos (angle '(0 0 0) (getvar "ucsxdir")) 0 4)

 

Also the one that you added after posting, is really give the direct answer .

 

(angtos (getvar "viewtwist") 0 4)

 

So both are great.

 

Thank you so much, also for your time.

 

Appreciated.
