Why not set incremental angle to 90° and add 11°, 22° and 45° as additional angles?

//Also this isn't really an AutoLISP question as it is a CAD General...

Hi Master Shake
I've already incremented these angles and isn't working as I wish.

I'd like to draw 11°, 22°, 45° and 90°...
But I want draw this angles all over 360° .


Maybe it is not a CAD General question, I think.
because Polar Tracking isn't working as I want to.

Besides I don't know how to explain better my task.  :embarrassed2:

Enabling relative to last segment works as expected.

proof of concept attached.

You might want to also add the following angles -> 349, 328, 315. This will allow you to go both directions from the last point.

Thank you very much!!

Worked perfect "go to both directions" that is the word!!.  :oops:

I've tested and worked perfect to me, you're completly right @Master_Shake my doubts is Autocad Gerenal, sorry for that.

Just that 3 angles (349, 328, 315) I'm able to draw the polyline all directions that I want?
Fantastic!

Thanks

Set your increment angle to 90° and add the 6 additional angles.

11, 22, 45, 315, 328, 349.

Granted 180 and 270 will be options but unless you want to go a lisp routine I don't think you can set additional angles without incremental angles.

Thank you for the support Master_Shake. :)

In my little world of fittings, 11.25 is the only angle you need .. not sure why you need more angles to go 'both' directions?
Glad you got it sorted though.  :)

When relative to UCS is enabled, the last two points determine 0°. If 11/22/45 are your only options, the poly line will only go counter clockwise.

Isn't that why we're using relative to last segment? .. Either way what you told him seems to solve the problem .. I just do it differently :)

Thank you ron,

You helped me a lot too.
