Dimangular-Vertex Macro Error

[zaphod]

Hello, I'm trying to create a macro to dimension angles using a vertex starting at 0,0 to 0,1, and then a point. I thought it would be rather simple compared to other things that I have tried.

I thought that this would do what I want, but for some reason the first line in the angle is all over the place. Any ideas as to why?

 

^C^C^C_dimangular;;0,0;0,1;\

I did find a lisp on the Autodesk forums that will work for what I need, but I was really trying to get the macro to work.

LOL @zaphod - your username wouldn't be a reference to "Zaphod Beeblebrox" would it?

 

Sorry i didn't answer you're OG question - just a Douglas Adams nerd haha.

 

Seriously, I think the problem is the second point must be in a clockwise direction from the first line, meaning if you select an area in the first quadrant you are in a counter-clockwise rotation, and it will give you the obtuse side of the circle instead of the inside angle. For doing an angle from 0-90deg, you would need to start at 0,0;1,0 instead.
