      Dear Matthieu,

      Perhaps I'm being a little dense, but why would you want to rotate the line after creation?

      Is the line copied first and then rotated?

      Regards,
      Bob

            More update ideas: perhaps an option to draw the line on the plane of a selected face? it would make drawing weird lines a lot easier.

            Why not, but give an angle depending on what Trigonometric origin?
            Originally trigonometric drawing or side of the longest edge of the selected face ?

            To creat a 3d polarline ! I think it's too complicated (not to develop, but calculate two angles in two different 2d plans). Or easier to rotate yourself after line creation.

              Salut Matt

              Je pensais aux autres systèmes de coordonnées ( cylindrique, polaire )
              Un maillage polaire au sens cartographique par exemple...

              Merci de ton attention

              Translation:
              I thought to polar grid like the one found on maps.

                    👍 Simple but powerful.

                    Thanks, I'm digging a big hole in anticipation of throwing out all my cad software.

                      Matt:

                      1st. Thanks!

                      2nd. Seems to have a problem. I typed in " 100**'** " and it drew a line 8'4".

                        Perhaps the  %(#FF0040)[****'****]  character is the problem?
                      

                      Regards, John

                          sorry, but it does not work for me on mac.

                          i click on the icon, it asks me to specify the first point, which i do. then a dialogue box appears for me to enter the length and the angle. i do do that and click OK. nothing happens!

                          what else should i do? any ideas?

                                I don't understand the problem... Again !! Grmbl.
                                Can you try line below in the ruby console, please ?

                                Math.cos(45.degrees)
                                

                                And these lines

                                a = Geom;;Point3d.new(12.5,12.5,25.2)
                                a[0]
                                a[1]
                                a[2]
                                

                                On each line, can you give me the results, please ?
                                Thank you again for your patience, Edson!

                                    Edson: you wrote 0 = Geom:: and 1 = Geom:: . That's not what he wanted. Just type exactly what he listed.

                                    First:

                                    a = Geom;;Point3d.new(12.5,12.5,25.2)
                                    

                                    Then

                                    a[0]
                                    

                                    and so on.

                                            I can have a look on my own Mac when I get home.
                                            Looks very weird. Does PC SU and MacSU use the same Ruby version?

                                            Have you tried placing () around lg * Math.cos(ang) . (just a wild guess)
