Re: [NTG-context] Trouble constructing a drawer rail with MP

Hi, It was in fact not really "working", but it just happened that it looked more or less correct in one case, but not in the other. For example: The path Pkt[1]--dir(194)*10mm for example is not given by the two points Pkt[1] and "Pkt[1] shifted 10mm in direction 194 degrees", but Pkt[1] and the point which is 10mm from the origin, rotated 194 degrees. /Mikael On Fri, May 21, 2021 at 9:27 PM Willi Egger wrote:

Hi Jairo!

thank you so much, this is precisely what I need.

Still I am wondering why this is not working starting at the Pkt[2] but working when starting from Pkt[1].

Kind regards

Willi

Hi!

Do

p[102] := (origin--dir(194)*10mm) shifted Pkt[1];

and

p[103] := (origin--dir(166)*10mm) shifted Pkt[2];

do what you need?

I wanted to make a technical drawing. However the enclosed mwe does not give me the required results.

While the vector from point 1 is directing in the desired direction of 194 degrees, the second vector from point 2 does not as defined point in the direction of 166 degrees.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for pointing me into the right direction :-)
