Polar Tracking Angle precision issues (IntelliCAD 10.0)
Posted: Tue Aug 17, 2021 2:53 am
Hello,
I'm a new user to IntelliCAD but have had a fair bit of experience using AutoCad previously.
I am having issues with polar tracking angle precision. When drawing a line at any of the set angles (including vertical and horizontal) the line is off by a few decimal places of a degree. For example a 45 degree line when drawn will read something like 45.88 even though the tool shows it snapping to the polar angle.
This causes inaccuracy in the drawings as lines are not parallel and dimensions do not match up etc. and impacts on a lot of other commands such as mirror and copy.
I have found that using Ortho mode generally avoids the problem but this tends to cut down productivity (I have encountered the problem once or twice in Ortho mode also).
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
