arc length or angle skill function

Ejlersen
Ejlersen over 12 years ago

Hi

Does anyone know of a function to calculate the angle of an arc given 2 coordinates and the radius

or calculate the arc length

Either one would work out, but I've not been able to find such a function.

I know about axlDBGetLength but the problem is that my arc does not have it's own dbid since I'm traversing segments of shapes.

Thanks in advance 

Best regards

Ole

    Hi Dave

    That was a fast answer, thanks a lot for this.

    I'll try them when I get back to work tomorrow morning :)

    I'm using 16.6 and have to applause for the amount of new skill functions that I've wished for.

    Brand new Excel integration, axlSetVariableFile, axlFormSetMouseActive and much more - can't wait to get started using them.

    Especially the axlFormSetMouseActive where you can get the field the mouse is placed above in a form and then write help about that field to an info field.

    Thanks for the tip on axlRadToDeg - I did not pay attention to that one :-) 

    Have a great day
