    Greetings:

    I am wondering if it is possible to input a trigonometry function such
    as ATAN (X), ACOS(X), ASIN(X) ETC into the Linear Step & Repeat Angle
    box under Sketch Tools - Linear step & repeat - Direction 1 &
    Direction 2. If not how can you input the exact value of the angle
    knowing only the horizontal and vertical dimension of the two lines
    forming the driven direction? I can always sketch the driven
    direction line, dimension it horizontally and vertically to obtain the
    exact shape, delete one dimension (either horizontally or vertically),
    dimension the angle, copy and paste the value in the angle box. Is
    there a better way of doing this?

    Your suggestion and help is greatly appreciated.

    Yes, using the SW API would be easiest.

    Set them into a design table: Excel will let you use this.
