text rotation

[sybold]

Text = New DBText
                Text.SetDatabaseDefaults()
                Text.Height = 2.25 * Application.GetSystemVariable("DIMSCALE")
                Text.Rotation = 300
                Text.TextString = coord
                Text.Layer = "GRID-TEXT"
                Text.TextStyleId = newTSId

                If MIR = True Then
                   Text.HorizontalMode = TextHorizontalMode.TextRight
                    Text.VerticalMode = TextVerticalMode.TextBottom
                Else
                    Text.HorizontalMode = TextHorizontalMode.TextLeft
                    Text.VerticalMode = TextVerticalMode.TextBottom
                End If

                Text.AlignmentPoint = pt

                If ucs = True Then
                    Text.TransformBy(Doc.Editor.CurrentUserCoordinateSystem)
                End If

                btr.AppendEntity(Text)
                tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(Text, True)

                tr.Commit()

when placing text the rotation is off in autocad, i set it to 300 and in autocad it should be 270 degrees it is 269. am i doing something wrong?

Hi,

Except when using the command line (i.e. SendStringtoExecute), the angles have to be expressed in radians.

Doh! thought it was in grads.

thanks!
