[Bug] Create a SketchText with negative angle returns "invalid input angle"

Hello,

Here is an example that should create a text rotated by -90° in a sketch:

import adsk.core, traceback # pylint: disable=import-error import math def run(context): ui = None try: app = adsk.core.Application.get() ui = app.userInterface design = app.activeProduct rootComp = design.rootComponent sketches = rootComp.sketches xyPlane = rootComp.xYConstructionPlane sketch = sketches.add(xyPlane) sketchTexts = sketch.sketchTexts sketchTextInput = sketchTexts.createInput('example', 1.0, adsk.core.Point3D.create(1.0, 1.0, 1.0)) sketchTextInput.angle = -math.pi / 2 sketchText = sketchTexts.add(sketchTextInput) except: if ui: ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

The code fails by returning the error "invalid input angle".

The documentation of the angle property should also mention that the value must be in radian and not in degree.
This is not obvious because it's the opposite in the dialog in Fusion 360.

Thank you.
