Then it's completely changed the definition of oblique... I hadn't actually looked at the help or the documentation for DXP (or tried it myself) however an oblique angle is simply an angle with isn't a multiple of 90degrees...
So it doesn't select any 60degree tracks or any other tracks than just the 45degree multiples?? wow... I guess the programmers from protel really didn't study any maths or geometry. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 5:43 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] What's wrong with my query language program > On 03:32 PM 12/02/2004, Bevan Weiss said: > >IsOblique will get all tracks whose angle is not a multiple of 90degrees. > >Hence if you have a 60degree track it will also be picked up... > > Bevan, > > I ran some tests and looked in the help - it only selected 45deg tracks. > > From the help: > > "Returns tracks of a diagonal nature if these are on either a rising 45 > degrees angle or a falling 45 degrees angle, i.e. those tracks for which > the absolute value of the difference between their Y1 and Y2 properties is > equal to the absolute value of the difference between their X1 and X2 > properties." > > I s'pose there may be a difference between DXP versions but I didn't think so. > > Bye for now, > Ian Wilson * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
