7.5.4:Rectangle coordinates

autodeskguest

The rectangle coordinates under properties window seems to become read

only except when angle=0. Why? Is this intended to avoid confuson or a bug?

    Hi Morten,

     

    I got a response back from the developers. It's to avoid confusion. The

    coordinates need to be entered assuming the angle is 0. It's true that

    it takes away some flexibility but users were getting confused by that

    so the change was made in V6.2.

     

    Thanks Jorge.. I can tell you that the current way was also confusing,

    but after finding out that angle=0 opened them up for editing, it makes

    not full, but some kind of sense.

     

    There is definitely room for improvement, like alternate ways of

    entering coords. I can think of a few different ways. Of course they

    need to be converted to the internal data format when accepting.

    Hello Morten,

     

    I hope you're doing well. I can reproduce the behaviour, and my gut feel

    is that this is by design. I'll ask about this and get back to you with

    whatever info I can find.

     

    Best Regards,
