In a scaled group try to draw a line using polar co-ordinates and you’ll find the number after the angle in [ α, n] does not respect the scale of the group.
Severity – should be fixed
@PaulMcAlenan I see Polar Coordinates working by using the notation ^ α, n
I’m attaching an image of a 1:20 scale drawing with 3 lines of type Polar-, Relative- & Absolute coordinate notation in LO 26.2.243. Do you have an example of a line drawn within a scaled drawing where the scale group scale is being (incorrectly) applied to VCB input value?
Hey Mike,
What am I doing wrong?
The difference I observe is in line length plotted when including or omitting (mm) units in Polar Coordinates syntax.
^45, 100 should default to paper/document Units vs ^45, 100mm is specifying Units, which suggests that mm isn’t your particular document’s default.
When I have a mm-units document, the above inputs yield the same resulting line length.
When I have a cm-units document, the above inputs yield different resulting line length.
Or we have a bug with respect to input parameters.
I’ll check again but it seems to me that regardless of me typing mm – there is a difference between the cartesian line and the polar lines…?
I just did some testing and I see the same thing you describe when making Scaled Drawings.
Are you seeing the same as me Dave or the same as Mike?
Same as you, Paul.
In my scaled group – in my example 1:2.5 – I type ^45, 10mm and I expect to get a line at 45 degrees, length 10mm at 1:2.5.
But instead – in the 1:2.5 scaled group – I get a line 10mm at 1:1.
Thanks for confirming your repro of Paul’s experience @DaveR
