Get BlockReference angle value

[mcoH3VZV]

Hi,

On a drawing, I have a bunch of blocks inserted, and when I click on them, under the misc properties, Rotation is either 270.00, 0.00, or 90.00. I need to extract this information.  However, when I use BlockReference.Rotation for a block that has 270.00 for the mic property Rotation, I get 4.1 or something. Am I doing something wrong here, does it need to be converted, or read to a specific Data Type?

Thanks,

BlockReference.Rotation return angle value in Radians. So you have to translate from Radians to Degrees:

using System;

public static double ConvertRadiansToDegrees(double radians)
{
    double degrees = (180 / Math.PI) * radians;
    return (degrees);
}
