Constrain Input

I want to create a leader from 3 points entered by the user. After the
first pick, I need a rubber band to the second pick but the angle needs
to be constrained to 15 degree increments. Then ortho is set for the
rubber band after pick 2. A lot like the qleader command. I can't see
how to do this with VBA. It is the 15 degree part that I'm having
trouble with.

I not sure if you can constrain to every 15 degrees but you may be able to
achieve some sort of results with 'snapang '.

 

set your PolarSnap to 15 degrees.

 

That just offers a guide. It does not restrict the input to only 15
degrees.

-mjm

 

Try setting the SNAPANG=15 and ORTHOMODE=1 for the first two points and for the final point SNAPANG=0 and keep ORTHOMODE=1. Then, use the AddLeader method to build the leader.

 

Almost, but it needs to be multiples of 15 degrees. Like qleader.

-mjm

 

You said previously, "That just offers a guide. It does not restrict the input to only 15 degrees." If you want to be able to select any 15 degrees increment, then don't use SNAPANG instead use POLARANG=15 and AUTOSNAP=47

 

It does not restrict the input to only 15 degrees.

Use VBA to recalculate the correct point to the intersection of the line from the first point at a
15 degree angle closest to your original second point and horizontal from your text.
