plan view rotation angle

[helmut]

hi.

i am trying to place a symbol using the line

SYMBOL (symbolName, px, py, #0);

in top/plan view the symbol stands head up correctly -

but in rotated top/plan view it appears rotated by the same amount the view itself is rotated.

so it seems i need to know and use the plan rotation degrees instead of simply using "0" for the insertion if the symbol should be inserted upright.

how can i get this done ?

thanks much

Hello Helmut,

???The first SYMBOL line will get you the rotation corrected, but the coordinates will still be those from before the Plan Rotation.

???X := -5;

???Y := 10;

???SYMBOL ('Symbol-1', X, Y, -GetPrefReal(93));

???This will get you working in Plan Rotation for both the XY grid and the angle grid.

???ScreenVecToModelVec(X, Y);

???SYMBOL ('Symbol-1', X, Y, -GetPrefReal(93));

HTH,

Raymond

hi raymond,

GetPrefReal(93)

worked well in my case. thanks much !
