How to over-ride angular measure default, and still display the degree symbol

Post by NoTrees »

Found this 'work-around'.......

this is also posted here in more detail: [urlhttps://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=35798&p=326434#p326434][/url] in the discussion about whether or not to use the degree symbol....

When you want to display some angular value (AND the degree symbol) other than what the default coding will insert, use the following:
Format Spec: change from default (%2.f) to "xyz.xyz" <alt>248 (the key-press for the ASCII degree symbol)
Arbitrary: true
