Something I can't find in the docs or in google:
- When I use 'arc from two points and radius', the radius is a direct entered value (typed by me). Is there a way to set the arc radius to be equal to a radius from an otherwise unrelated circle in the drawing? I could measure that value (infodist), and type it in the angle entry box, but that feels like I'm doing something wrong.
- Can angle be measured (with infoangle) to sub-degree precision? Can't find this in application settings..
This is latest pro version on Linux btw.
Cheers!

You could copy the radius of the other circle from the property editor.teegee wrote:- When I use 'arc from two points and radius', the radius is a direct entered value (typed by me).

The exact angle is always shown in the command line history (View > Command Line). The angle precision for angles shown in the graphics view can be configured under Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension Settings > Angular Dimensionsteegee wrote:- Can angle be measured (with infoangle) to sub-degree precision?

Re: Arc with radius from another entity
OK, that's fine. I thought I might be missing a way to select a value from the drawing.andrew wrote:You could copy the radius of the other circle from the property editor.
Ah, I missed the value on the command line. That will work fine..teegee wrote:The exact angle is always shown in the command line history (View > Command Line).

The setting you refer to doesn't seem to be related to the value infoangle prints in the graphics view btw.. If I change it to '0.00' precision, it still prints integer degrees only..
Thanks!
