[Solved] a serious problem

Unread post by aginor »

create a triangle in points (0,0) (0,100) (50,100)
the dimensions of the lines are 50 and 100
the including edge must be 30 degrees
but is 26.57 degrees! make the same in AutoCAD. Again it is wrong!
My computer does not know the sin30 function? [/img]

Whoa, slow down there and pull your computer out of the dumpster !

Rest assured that TS does have a few bugs :wink: but it definitely knows how a triangle works.

I think you got your triangle sides confused...

Hi Aginor,

Top Noob is right. You just got your sides mixed up. The hypotenuse is 2x the opposite side. With the dimensions you gave, the angle would be what the system says.

Have good day of designing!
