Angle between lines

I am trying to find the angle between two lines.

The lines are in different sketches and on different planes that are perpendicular to each other.

This is the code I have been working with.

sketch2 = sketches.addWithoutEdges(plane) recCenter = sketch2.modelToSketchSpace(endPoint) centerPoint = lineX.endSketchPoint.worldGeometry point1 = sketch2.modelToSketchSpace(centerPoint) lines = sketch2.sketchCurves.sketchLines lineEndPoint = adsk.core.Point3D.create(point1.x + .5, point1.y, point.z) lineY = lines.addByTwoPoints(point1, lineEndPoint) vector1: adsk.core.Vector3D = lineX.geometry.asInfiniteLine().direction vector2: adsk.core.Vector3D = lineY.geometry.asInfiniteLine().direction newAng = math.degrees(vector1.angleTo(vector2)) newAngStr = "%.16f" % float(newAng)

The lineX and lineY appear to be 90 degrees apart, but in Debugging I get this.

newAng = Radians

newAngStr = Degrees

This is the screen capture I am referring to.

LineX is created higher in the code.

The selected surface plane is what the user clicks on to create the sketch that contains lineX.

LineY is in a sketch on a construction plane perpendicular to the Selected surface plane.

Any and all help appreciated.

Thank you.

Try replacing geometry with worldGeometry in lines 8 and 9.

Thank you @CADacombs .

Didn't even think of that.

My bad.

That worked.
