Radiant constraint

Post by anno15 »

Hello,

is it possible to set a radiant constraint instead of an angle constraint in the sketcher? The same for the polar pattern.

In my part it would be easier to set a distance at the arc in mm instead of an angle.

I don't know what a radiant constraint is?

But if it refers to using Radians rather than degrees, simply force the unit by entering E.G 1 rad instead of 57.29 deg

Maybe this radian constraint could look like this:

You can do this by using expressions.

In this case the angle subtended by an arc of 30mm = 30/280 rad or more generally s/r where s = arc length, r = radius of arc.
