Finding new point

[cadconcepts]

Hi All
I have written a routine to insert a block at the same point and rotation of an existing block. I am able to obtain the insertion point and rotation of the existing via AutoLisp. Do I use the TRANS function to determine the new point I wish to move the new block to. I have the insertion point, the angle and I want the new point to be 24" away. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
You need to use POLAR function to determine the target destination but the use of TRANS function is for converting coordinates from system to another.
