FAQ

How do I create a point at a specific angle on a circle?

Use Point/On,C,Atangl with the circle reference and the angle in degrees from the positive X axis.

Full Answer

Use Point/On,C,Atangl. Specify the circle reference and the angle in degrees measured from the positive X axis, counterclockwise. 0=rightmost, 90=top, 180=leftmost, 270=bottom.

XyzPilot Example

C0 = Centre (0,0), radius 100

Point/On, C0, Atangl, 0, 0   → P0 = (100, 0)
Point/On, C0, Atangl, 90, 0  → P1 = (0, 100)
Point/On, C0, Atangl, 45, 0  → P2 = (70.711, 70.711)
