Title: Exporting text - rotation
Post by: Branka on August 30, 2011, 02:23:19 PM

When exporting text to excel in column "rotation" instead of 305 (that format I want) writes negative angle -55.
When I select that text in drawing in the properties is angle 305.

When exporting blocks I do not get negative angles.

Tnx

Hi!

Angles reported in CadTools are in Degrees with start at X-axle positive side and decreasing clockwise. To your right you have 0 at the top you have 90 to yor left you have 180 at the bottom you have 270

You might need to do some conversation in Excel to get values in prefered units.

Direction of angles are governed by AutoCAD's variable ANGDIR.
