Topic: Default angle for the command Rotate.

[velasquez]

How to know where the last value used in the command Rotate it is stored?

Command:
ROTATE
Current positive angle in UCS:  ANGDIR=counterclockwise  ANGBASE=0
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 1 found
Select objects:
Specify base point: _mid of
Specify rotation angle or [Copy/Reference] <45>:

just a guess, but perhaps lastangle

[Lee Mac]

I thought that too, but when I looked it up, I found that it was the last angle entered for the End Angle for an Arc... but i think it is for both 

[Joe Burke]

I think that's not true. The lastangle variable only stores the angular value of the last arc drawn, as help indicates.

I don't know where the last rotation angle is stored. It may be internal without a corresponding system var.

There is almost always a 'Work Around'.
What are you trying to accomplish?

[Spike Wilbury]

I think I remember this - from many moons ago, and forgot the possible workaround...

This must be a local global variable that cannot be accessed or exposed, since it is not being saved on the drawing nor on the registry - if you set up an angle it will be in use until you close the drawing session, next time it will go back to 0.0

my -2.0 pesos that today is at the rate of 14.0/per dollar (those 14.0 pesos were $1,120 USD in 1976)

I need to do this value to be same to 0.0 for the user to press ENTER.

[Lee Mac]

Are you saying that if the default rotation is 0.0, then the user must hit enter, or the code is such that it skips the prompt?

[velasquez]

Yes
A block is inserted, and after some thing he can be rotacionado. 
I want that the command Rotate always accepts 0 if the user presses Enter. 
(princ "\nÂngulo de rotação <0>: ")
(command "_.rotate" "_l" "" JoyPt pause)

An object reactor then ... maybe?

There is some stuff here that might be useful like:

[Lee Mac]

Why not prompt for the rotation before invoking the insert command?

For example:

Code: [Select]

(setq ang (getangle "\nSpecify Rotation Angle <0> : "))
(or ang (setq ang 0.0))

But, remember getangle returns in radians. 

[CAB]

Not very elegant but it works.

Code: [Select]

(princ "\nÂngulo de rotação <0>: ")
(command "_.rotate" "_l" "" "_non" JoyPt 0) ; force zero default
(command "_.rotate" "_l" "" "_non" JoyPt pause)
