3D revolution impossible with the chosen angle

[REDO79]

Hello everybody,

I am new among you and I congratulate you on this wonderful forum!

I am using ASD 2014 and I cannot make the 3D revolution of my raft with the angle I have chosen (337.25 °)

Autocad always gives me an angle smaller than my chosen angle (see picture below).

Note: I adjusted my settings before making the revolution (ortho mode desabled, snapping and locating objects desabled)..but that did not succeed !!

I have also set the unit of the angle to degree (see the picture below)

the 3D revolution results as follows:

Note: I am using the revolution to calculate the volume of concrete for the raft to be poured, how can I remedy the problem?

Thx.

The first issue is because you have Direction set to North instead of the default East. Also, you get a negative number because you have Clockwise (sens horaire) checked.

How to set thoses parameters as default?
Thx 😉

Hi Ed Jobe,

The system variables you're looking for are ANGBASE and ANGDIR
Something changed their default values so you may want to avoid it happening again.
You could add

(if (/= (getvar 'angbase) 0)(progn(setvar 'angbase 0)(princ "\nSet base angle to 0 (East). ANGBASE")))
(if (/= (getvar 'angdir) 0)(progn(setvar 'angdir 0)(princ "\nSet angle direction to counterclockwise. ANGDIR")))

to your acaddoc.lsp to make sure they're always set correctly or add them to the System Variable Monitor.

Can you show me a video or give me a link explain how to do that?
And Can I type the two codes lignes directly on commande line?

Thx.

Acad.lsp & acaddoc.lsp are files users create, they don't come installed with AutoCAD.
By default acad.lsp loads when AutoCAD is started.
Acaddoc.lsp loads with each drawing after it opens.

I've checked your link but I couldn't figure out how to run the LISP commands as well as modify the routines at the AutoCAD startup. (by the way I'm not a programmer). I also didn't find any "LSP" files within the AutoCAD sub folders.
So, could you please show me how can I exactly find the "acadoc.lsp" files, and instruct me on how to apply changes on both of the "ANGBASE" and "ANGDIR" parameters?
Thank you

If you're not comfortable programming, you can do it without programming using the SYSVARMONITOR command.
